Project Change Log Template

Download this Project Change Log Template to document, assess, approve, and track project change requests from submission through implementation and closure.

Designed for project managers, PMO teams, sponsors, and change approvers, this editable Excel change log provides a structured way to manage changes affecting project scope, schedule, cost, resources, quality, and risk. Track each request’s priority, business need, impact, owner, approval decision, implementation target, validation, and final closure in one organized workbook.

The template includes a detailed change register, management dashboard, 1–24 impact scoring, and a dedicated approval and closure record, helping teams move beyond basic change tracking and maintain a clear decision trail throughout the project lifecycle.

A consistent change management process helps teams evaluate proposed changes before they affect established project baselines. Use this template to improve change control, reduce undocumented scope creep, clarify accountability, support Change Control Board (CCB) decisions, and keep stakeholders aligned.

Created by experienced project management professionals for practical, real-world project change control.
