Change Control Process

Change requests will be directed to the CM manager. They will be documented in a single Excel file sorted by date and coded/annotated for the type of change requested, the reason for the request, impact of the change requested to current phase of project, original and estimated new timeline, resources and cost and the requester's name. The outcome of the review of the request will also be documented, including from whom input was sought, if necessary, and the decision to grant the request or make a compromise. The Technical Point of Contact is considered a stakeholder, and so all modifications will be reviewed with him during regularly scheduled C3PR teleconferences. The NCI CCB is not considered a stakeholder. It is expected that changes with high impact will be identified as risks and will be elevated to SAIC/NCI by the TPOC as he sees fit.

Change Control Workflow

Technical Change Control

Prior to a release, the CM manager will review the deliverables leading to the release and ensure that issues identified in the testing phase have been addressed. This review will be presented to the project PI and the additional CM staff members, who will suggest potential problem areas to be tested.

Weekly Jira Exports

We are using Jira (v4.0.2#472) instance that is hosted at SemanticBits (http://krjira.semanticbits.com) until the NCI's Jira server is ready. Weekly exports of that instance are below.
