Change Request

Definitions

1. A formal proposal to modify a system, application, process, or environment, typically including scope, risk, testing, rollback, and approval information. Change requests are used in organizations where system changes need explicit review and scheduling rather than informal direct pushes.

   In plain English: A formal request to make a change to a system or environment.

   Example: "The release engineer opened a change request for the database migration because the production cutover affected multiple dependent services."
