# Create a request change

# Create a request change {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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 ProjectProjectsAll.
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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NZ7fS4IO3diiF8H8z~VP7w "Learn about the fields of the RIDAC form.").
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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/v8~Ux~9IqVG9IrU9ido8iQ "Link existing RIDAC records (risks, issues, actions, decisions, and request changes) to one another for your project. Associating RIDAC records with each other enables you to keep a record of risks or issues and their outcome for analysis at project closure and planning. It also helps to track the risks and issues throughout the project life cycle.").
* Create tasks for working on the change request. For more information see, [Create a task from an incident, problem, or change request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/y6B9tny2trqbUz62Jvpbig "You can create a new project task from the Project Task related list on the Incident, Problem, and Change Request forms. The tasks you create from these forms makes the project task a child of the incident, problem, or change, rather than a project.").
