Definition

A Request for Change (RFC) is a formal proposal to modify a production system, reviewed and approved through a structured change management process before implementation. RFCs document what is being changed, why, the expected impact, the rollback plan, and the parties affected. Mature MSPs use RFCs to prevent the most common cause of network outages, unapproved changes, and to maintain auditable records for compliance and post-incident review. RFCs are typically reviewed by a Change Advisory Board.
