What stages are involved in the Automation Change Control Process in an automation project?

The Automation Change Control Process involves the following stages:

Change Request: Initiation of the change by documenting the details, scope, and reason for the change.

Change Evaluation: The requested change is assessed for feasibility, risk, impact, and cost.

Change Approval: The stakeholders review and formally approve the changes based on the evaluation results.

Prioritization: Changes are ranked based on their urgency, importance, and business impact.

Implementation: Approved changes are executed, tested, and integrated into the existing process.

This structured approach ensures smooth transition and proper documentation, maintaining alignment with the original automation goals​​.
