Abstract :
Change in software is considered the most prominent source of risk, affecting quality, cost and time. Managing software change is a resource consuming activity, and is particularly daunting when financial and human resources are limited. The complexity and necessity of properly managing software change has been highlighted in literature, but the process of managing it with limited resources still needs more exploration.
