Review details of the RFC. 
Analyse the request with consideration given to the corporate CHANGE RELEASE STANDARDs. 
Consider if sufficient information has been provided in order for adequate planning and estimating, and priority (emergency, significant, minor), impact and urgency assignment. Complete a considered IMPACT ASSESSMENT.
This is an opportunity to identify requests that should be dealt with by the Service Desk, and the Incident/Problem management process.
The user requirements for the RFC may be negotiated at this point i.e. KPI and success measures. Updates to the REQUEST FOR CHANGE document, or RFC 'Description' field in vFire should be made when changes are agreed.

If the RFC is neither an emergency nor a minor change, then it is a significant change requiring the full review process of the CAB. 
Resource estimates, include purchasing, training, staffing and the business and financial costs of downtime, are calculated.
The rollout timeframe, including milestones, are mapped and compared with resource availability and other RFCs underway or in planning. Criteria for rollback should also be developed at this point.
This information and CAB findings are recorded in the Request For Change document, or the the parent Request 'Description' field within vFire.

Peer review of the estimates and plan helps to ensure that all considerations have been taken into account. 
For RFCs leading into the Release Management process this can be undertaken by the Release Manager instead of the CAB.

Now that all considerations have been measured and confirmed, the impact of the change is determined and applied to the Request.The Impact value can be updated on this Task screen. The Request Impact field can be found above and is editable. 
The impact level assigned to the Request takes into consideration the loss of service if change does not proceed successfully or on time. Included in this is the business impact - loss of system availabilities impact on user productivity, customer experience and customer expectation as well as the financial impact.
At this point, success and fail criteria should be provided so that Packaging can develop an appropriate BACK OUT PLAN.
