The Lifecycle of a Change Control Program – Phase 2: Evaluate

The process of the change control lifecycle begins with Phase 1 – Propose, in which a need for change is identified and developed, as shown in Figure 3. Once all of the information is recorded on the change request document (we covered this in detail in our course on Phase 1 of implementing a change control program), the change request is completed and submitted to a change control committee (CCC) and Quality Assurance (QA). During Phase 2 (Evaluate), the details of the CCC/QA evaluation are recorded, along with the signatures of all who participated.
