Hello all,

   I´m not sure if contributions are expected from non usual contributors, such 
as me, but I´d like to opine about this subject.

   I agree with Ana Pereira. In my humble opinion, Scope Management is the best 
term.


-          For most of people Change Management reminds a very strict and 
formal process.

-          By "managing the scope" one can understand it comprehends the 
management of changes also.

-          The type of change management most of lightweight processes 
implement is a different paradigm if compared to traditional change management 
and usually are nothing more than keeping the scope under control (tracking, 
creating or removing work items).


Regards,
Maciel

what about Flexible ? ... Flexible Change or Scope Management? ... contrasting 
with traditional change management that seems to be more rigid ...

Hi Ken,

I think the point is that without the qualifier, it makes it hard to name 
alternative change management practices.
In other words, if we have 3 change management practice alternatives, and one 
is called change management, it's hard from the name to know what kind of 
change management is being described
by the practice.  Also, it may seem unfair for us to claim copyright to "change 
management" - by adding some kind of qualifier, at least we are only claiming 
our brand of change management.
Another suggestion from Per is "Informal Change Management".
Is that better than "Basic"?

Note that this practice, as it stands, just has one task, which is to submit 
change requests, and otherwise changes are really being addressed as part of
work item management done by the iterative development practice.  It's not a 
traditional formal change management approach with a CCB and unique states for 
change requests.

Re: [epf-dev] Renaming "Change Management" practice to "Basic Change        
Management"







I don't know I think you got it right the first time.  Firstly, I don't think 
its fair for any one group to claim copyright to the term Change Management. 
Secondly the term "Basic" is almost pejorative and somehow diminishes the 
importance of the practice (think about Basic Project Management, Basic 
Architecture etc).  Thirdly, I'm not sure we need a qualifier, one would think 
the context would be sufficient if we put "Basic" before one practice what does 
that mean about the other practices.

Chris Sibbald and I would like to make this change to address concerns raised 
by reviewers.
The basic concern is that they expected from the name that this would be a 
formal change management practice, and it's not.

See bugzilla:




243928<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243928>






I plan to make this change tomorrow, so if there are any concerns at all with 
this, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks,
