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

    guid=&quot;_0mwzEclgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;>Request Change&lt;/a> and associated guidance. Next, review the Iterative Development&#xD;
    practice to understand how change requests are captured and managed on the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
