/change-request If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md . Create a structured change request with impact analysis, risk assessment, and rollback plan. Usage /change-request $ARGUMENTS Change Management Framework Apply the assess-plan-execute-sustain framework when building the request: 1. Assess What is changing? Who is affected? How significant is the change? (Low / Medium / High) What resistance should we expect? 2. Plan Communication plan (who, what, when, how) Training plan (what skills are needed, how to deliver) Support plan (help desk, champions, FAQs) Timeline with milestones 3. Execute Announce and explain the "why" Train and support Monitor adoption Address resistance 4. Sustain Measure adoption and effectiveness Reinforce new behaviors Address lingering issues Document lessons learned Communication Principles Explain the why before the what Communicate early and often Use multiple channels Acknowledge what's being lost, not just what's being gained Provide a clear path for questions and concerns Output

| | [Name] | [Role] | Pending | If Connectors Available If ~~ITSM is connected: Create the change request ticket automatically Pull change advisory board schedule and approval workflows If ~~project tracker is connected: Link to related implementation tasks and dependencies Track change progress against milestones If ~~chat is connected: Draft stakeholder notifications for the communication plan Post change updates to the relevant team channels Tips Be specific about impact — "Everyone" is not an impact assessment. "200 users in the billing team" is. Always have a rollback plan — Even if you're confident, plan for failure. Communicate early — Surprises create resistance. Previews create buy-in.
