Exploring the change management framework: An in-depth investigation

Abstract

Change management is part of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), particularly during the challenging stage of Requirement Engineering (RE). Managing requirements and incorporating changes can be complex and demanding, Having high impacts on project duration, cost, and ultimately project success and failure, cost, and ultimately, the success or failure of the software project. This research paper aims to explore and analyses various change management frameworks that contribute to the effectiveness of project completion, with a focus on minimizing time and cost estimates while maximizing product quality. Additionally, this study investigates the success and failure rates of software projects, specifically examining the identification of change management frameworks and addressing critical challenges within the context of Global Software Development (GSD). This review provides valuable insights and recommendations for implementing effective change management practices in software development projects that may facilitate future advancement in change management. This paper reviews various research papers and identifies major problems associated with each existing framework on Time constraints, Quick cost estimates, Verification of used and excluded needs, and customer information. We believe that the finding of this paper helps to address those challenges and reduce overall development time and increase the success rate of projects through the review of Requirement change management identification of a framework.
