How to Use Change Request Writer
- 1Describe the change: what you are changing, why, and how you intend to do it.
- 2Pick the change type — Standard, Normal (CAB), Emergency, or Minor / Pre-Approved. ITIL treats these very differently and the document reflects that.
- 3Name the system or service, and who is requesting it.
- 4Click 'Generate Change Request'.
- 5You get a full RFC: description, scope and impact, a numbered implementation plan with pre-change tasks and verification steps, and the surrounding sections your change process expects. Fill in the real timings and approvers yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it follow ITIL change types?
It uses the standard four — Standard, Normal, Emergency and Minor / Pre-Approved — and writes to their conventions. A Normal change is written for a CAB audience with justification and risk; an Emergency change is written for retrospective approval. Your organisation's exact process may differ, so map it across.
Is there a rollback plan?
The implementation plan includes pre-change tasks and explicit verification steps, and the document has the sections a change process expects around backout. Write the actual rollback commands yourself — those depend on your systems, and a generated rollback you have not tested is worse than none.
Will the implementation steps be correct for my stack?
They will be plausible and appropriately shaped, and they will not know your environment. Treat them as a skeleton to replace with the real commands and checks. The value here is the document structure and the sections you would otherwise forget, not the technical steps.
Can I use this for an emergency change?
Yes, and it is arguably the best use — emergency changes are the ones documented worst, because the documentation happens after the fact when everyone wants to go home. Pick Emergency Change and it writes for retrospective approval.
Does it estimate risk and impact?
It produces scope and impact sections based on what you describe. The assessment is only as good as your description, and the risk rating your CAB assigns is theirs to make, not the tool's.
About Change Request Writer
A change request is a document nobody wants to write and everybody wants to have read. The Change Request Writer produces a complete RFC from a description of the change: summary and detail, systems affected, a numbered implementation plan with pre-change tasks and verification, and the surrounding sections a change process expects.
Change type does real work here. A Normal change is written to be read by a CAB and has to justify itself; an Emergency change is written for retrospective approval; a Standard change leans on the pre-approved pattern. Picking the right one saves reshaping the whole document afterwards.
The implementation steps are a skeleton, not a script. The tool does not know your environment, your naming, or which node is the primary, and its steps will be plausible rather than correct. Replace them with the real commands — the value is the structure and the sections you would have forgotten, particularly verification and backout.
Fill in real timings, approvers and rollback commands yourself, and never paste credentials or sensitive internal addressing into the description. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once to write the document, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
