The user who creates the change proposal system automatically becomes a change proposal manager for it. Change proposal managers control the modules and attributes that are configured for review, the users who have access, and what their roles are. Users who have access to the change proposal system can look at the information and make comments about it, but they cannot edit it.
The users can make two types of comments. We use the term proposal for both.
Proposal | Description |
---|---|
Suggestion | A high-level comment. For example, the suggestion that a project should have a test plan. |
Change proposal | A detailed comment about a particular object in a particular module. For example, the proposal that the value of the Estimated Duration attribute for a particular object should be changed from 20 days to 30 days. |
A team of change proposal reviewers (sometimes called a Change Control Board, or CCB) looks at each proposal and decides on the appropriate course of action. They decide whether to accept, reject, or defer the proposal.
Rational® DOORS® will automatically email you if the status of one of your proposals changes, for example if one of your proposals is accepted.
