See the Technology Request service page for details.

A project change request should be completed and may need to be approved by the PMO, Project Sponsor, Business Owner, or others depending on the impact of the change. Change requests are created when someone on the project team identifies an addition or change to the agreed-upon deliverables of the project. Such a change may involve additional features or customization that impacts the original project goal or plan.
Anyone on the project team can submit a project change request. A change request will include details about the change, who requested it, the reason for the change, the impact and any risks identified because of the change. The change request will also document any changes to the timeline of the project.
The project manager will schedule a meeting to review the change request by the project team, which may also include additional key stakeholders to weigh in. A decision will be made by those key stakeholders to approve, reject, or defer the change.
You can use your own change order document, or this template.
The IT-PMO holds regular scheduled meetings to discuss project tips and tricks. The sessions are often recorded and saved on the PMO UD Capture site.
Yes! UDIT-PMO recommends that you also utilize TDX to track your progress (Actual Start/Finish dates, Project Plan, issues, etc.), but you can also use Microsoft Teams to collaborate with the project team. See Sharing a Project Plan in Microsoft Teams.
