Change Request Management

PPM Studio helps you to streamline your change request process to ensure that you get full traceability and visibility throughout the development life cycle. Users can automatically submit their requests which get routed for triage. Stakeholders and the change review board can view, vote on, and track the status of all change requests. Reporting is built right in, so management is simpler. And, audits of your change history are a breeze, because PPM Studio’s Change Request Management gives you a complete audit trail including creation of detailed audit logs for each change request.

The inbuilt impact analysis module ensures every change is evaluated before approval and execution.
