* You will establish and support change control (PR/CR/CCB), including logging and reviewing all proposed changes to baselined configuration items, as well as ensure proper impact assessment and authorization of implementation.
* You will ensure traceability across requirements, code, and tests.
* You will ensure the accurate recording and reporting of the status of all CIs, including their approval status, version history, and change implementation progress.
