IT and web teams can take change requests from the business on an intranet page. The form captures type, target date, and details so CAB is not reading forwarded Outlook chains.
Notify the change manager or web editor.
Normal vs emergency in the copied select.
Edit the details placeholder.
Paste a ticket ID back to the requester by email.
A change request (CR) is a stakeholder asking to alter a live system: copy on a page, a firewall rule, a pricing table, a feature flag. US ITIL shops and UK public-sector IT both recognise the pattern. This HTML form is the front door for teams that do not yet have ServiceNow change management, or for marketing sites that will never live in the ITSM.
It is not an RFC 2119 spec and not a git pull request. Engineering still implements in the usual repo. The form creates a numbered-enough record of who asked and by when.
You need the outcome, the urgency, and a rollback hint. You do not need them to write the implementation plan.
Emergency production incidents belong on the incident path, not this form. Say that on the page.
Jira, ServiceNow, and Slack :change: emoji all exist. HTML is for business users who will never open Jira.
The comms team can submit without an Atlassian licence.
Use when you need CAB calendars, CI linkage, and audit. Feed this form into that later.
No audit trail of who asked for the pricing typo.
Fine for tiny teams; unsearchable after six months.
A Confluence HTML macro or an internal GitHub Pages site can host the form.
Export CSV for CAB. Retention should match your change policy, which may be years in regulated US and UK environments.
It is intake only. Compliance lives in how you assess, approve, and record the change afterwards.
Still use pull requests. This form is for the business ask that triggers the PR.
Incidents restore service. Changes alter it. Keep two paths.
URL in details, or a file-upload form for the web team.
Capture repro steps, severity, and environment from users on your site.
Let customers pitch product ideas with context, not a one-line tweet.
A lighter intake than a feature request for culture, process, or UX niggles.
