	The Linear Collider Collaboration has introduced a change management process to ensure that changes to the ILC baseline design are properly reviewed and implemented in an orderly fashion. A change management board oversees the process, establishes the review procedure based on the overall impact of the proposed change, decides, and monitors the implementation. This change management process has become an important factor that gives structure and direction to the ongoing design activities around the world. For example, one CR called for a harmonisation of the final focus quadrupole position between the two detector concepts; extensive studies from both experiments were carried out as part of the review process and took almost a year. Another CR by the experiments asked for a vertical shaft access to the interaction hall that required a relocation of the whole accelerator. The change process made sure that the stakeholders were part of the review and decision process from the beginning and contributed to a design change acceptable to all parties involved. The poster will present the change management process and give examples of change requests that have already been processed.

The Linear Collider Collaboration has introduced a change management process to ensure that changes to the ILC baseline design are properly reviewed and implemented in an orderly fashion. A change management board oversees the process, establishes the review procedure based on the overall impact of the proposed change, decides, and monitors the implementation. This change management process has become an important factor that gives structure and direction to the ongoing design activities around the world. For example, one CR called for a harmonisation of the final focus quadrupole position between the two detector concepts; extensive studies from both experiments were carried out as part of the review process and took almost a year. Another CR by the experiments asked for a vertical shaft access to the interaction hall that required a relocation of the whole accelerator. The change process made sure that the stakeholders were part of the review and decision process from the beginning and contributed to a design change acceptable to all parties involved. The poster will present the change management process and give examples of change requests that have already been processed.
