(1) Change Management requires you to obtain from the customer the specifics of what it takes to satisfy him or her, (2) Change Management requires you to prepare a description document which identifies those specifics, (3) Change Management requires you to control that document throughout the lifetime of your relationship with that customer, and (4) Change Management requires you to ensure that the product (hardware, object-oriented software, or a service) that you deliver complies with that document.
