Change Request Fields (CMMI)

The following table describes the fields that are used only to track change requests. The process template for Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) CMMI Process Improvement v5.0 provides the change request type of work item. The Justification field appears on the Justification tab, and all other fields appear on the Analysis tab of the work item form for a change request. For more information, see Change Request (CMMI).

None of these fields are reportable or indexed. For more information about data types, see Working with Work Item Fields.
