Change Report and Change Register
On this page
We produce two summary documents that give an overview of the latest progress to active and/or closed Modifications, Change Proposals and Issues. Each are updated regularly and are useful for keeping up-to-date.
Change Report
The Change Report is a monthly summary of all Modifications, Change Proposals and Issues that are currently active. It shows the progress of each change in a visual ‘progress bar,’ as well as containing text updates on what has changed since last month’s Change Report. The Change Report is presented to the BSC Panel each month. If you would like to see previous Change Reports, please see the Panel meeting pages on our website.
Change Register
The Change Register spreadsheet contains an up-to-date high level overview of active and closed Modifications, Change Proposals and Issues. It also includes the Release Schedule and current Impact Assessment Timetable.
An updated copy of the Change Register is published on a weekly basis.
