image with no caption

A Change Board is an approach to controlling changes to a software product. It works by bringing together representatives from each concerned party—for example, development, QA, user documentation, customer support, marketing, and management—and giving them ultimate authority for accepting or rejecting proposed changes. It produces its rapid-development benefit by raising the visibility of feature creep and reducing the number of uncontrolled changes to the product. Change Boards can be used in virtually any kind of environment—business, shrink-wrap, or systems.
