What's included
Each change request moves through Submitted, Impact assessment, Awaiting decision and then Approved, Rejected or Implemented. The register records the requester, the change type, the schedule and cost impact of accepting it, the decision and who made it. Approved changes spawn implementation tasks that depend on the decision, so the timeline shows what an approved change does to the plan. The intake form gives anyone a way to raise a change without editing the register.

3 links, so a slip shows up where it lands
The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
