If an answer is unknown, say so. You do not need to complete every field before a first conversation.

## Agreed baseline

[The version, deliverables, timing and price affected by the change.]

## Proposed change

[Who requested the change, when, why and what exactly would be different?]

## Impact

[Impact on work, cost, schedule, testing, content, third-party services and support. Unknown estimates need clarification.]

## Options

[Do it now, replace some existing scope, defer it or decline it. What happens without the change?]

## Decision and authority

[Status, authorised decision makers, reasoning and a reference to approval. Silence is not approval.]

## Records to update

[Scope, plan, budget, acceptance criteria and contractual documents where needed.]
