I am writing a corporate policy on how to implement product and process changes in general. This includes identifying a need for change, having clear objective(s), understanding potential risks/ impacts associated with the change, obtaining stakeholder input and agreement for the change, creating a plan of action, implementing and verifying how the change met the objectives. I am also requesting that the change should be managed via a change management tool: logging/opening a unique change request, tracing the change requirements to existing product/process requirements/definitions, closing the change request, etc..
Two questions...
(1) What is change management vs change control... Would this be accurate?
change management elements are proposing, planning, stakeholder communication, assessing, approving, implementing, monitoring
change control elements are documentation, traceability, approval, version control
(2) Should the change management tool include both management and control elements? (My intuition says yes)
