# Create a request change

As a project manager, you might create a request change as the outcome of the action taken to resolve an issue or mitigate a risk. The request change might result in changing the project's scope, resource requirement, cost, or schedule to minimize the impact of a risk or issue.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_project\_manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Project** > **Projects** > **All**.

2.  Select the project to which you want to add a request change.

3.  In the Request Changes related list and select **New**.

4.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    For more information, see [RIDAC form fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-management/ridac-forms.md).

5.  Select **Submit**.


## What to do next

-   Associate the request change with your existing risk, issue, decision, and action records so you can track dependencies and recognize trends for future. For more information, see [Associate existing RIDAC records for a project](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-management/reassociate-ridac-project.md).
-   Create tasks for working on the change request. For more information see, [Create a task from an incident, problem, or change request](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/project-management/t_CreateTaskIntPrblmChange.md).
