| <mainDescription><p>
 |
| This practice describes the simplest possible change management approach, one in which change management is an integral
 |
| part of project management. In this approach, any one may request a change to the system (or supporting artifacts) at
 |
| any time, either to correct a defect identified or to add an enhancement. The request for change is captured on the
 |
| backlog of outstanding [Project Work]. During project planning the team reviews the backlog, prioritizes work and
 |
| decides which changes will be implemented next.
 |
| </p></mainDescription> |
| <problem><p>
 |
| At any time, any member of the team may uncover defects or propose new requirements that are not in scope for the
 |
| iteration. There should be some process for tracking such requests, so that they do not get lost.&nbsp; This practice
 |
| simply captures such requests as work items, and assumes that work item management practices will address the
 |
| acceptance, assignment, verification, and closure of such requests.

| The best way to read this practice is to first familiarize yourself with its overall structure: what is in it and how
 |
