Explanation:
The change request log records the status of all change requests, approved or declined.

their disposition on a current basis. The change request log develops a measure of consistency
into the change management process. It encourages common inputs into the process and is a
common estimation approach for all change requests. As the log is an important component of
project requirements, it should be readily available to the project team members responsible for
project delivery. It should be maintained in a file with read-only access to those who are not
responsible for approving or disapproving project change requests.
