Change Impact

Overview

Change Impact helps you understand how important project updates may affect related planning work. Use it after changing project details, feature scope, requirements, workflow decisions, or architecture choices.

Open Change Impact

Open the project and select Change Impact from the available project actions. The page shows saved impact checks for that project when affected areas exist.

If you do not see the option, return to the project overview and check whether the project has generated planning content that can be compared.

Review An Impact Check

Select a saved impact check to open the review page. Use the summary to understand what changed and which features, tasks, requirements, or planning areas may need attention.

Review each affected area before making more changes. This helps avoid updating one part of the plan while leaving related work stale.

Understand Empty History

An empty history means AlphaTales has no saved impact checks with affected areas for that project. This can be normal for a new project or a project with no meaningful changes yet.

If you expected to see a recent check, refresh the page. If it still does not appear, return to the project and confirm that the change was saved.

Recover From Problems

If the page is loading, wait for history to finish loading before opening an item.

If loading fails, use Retry if available. If retry does not work, return to the project overview and reopen Change Impact.

If access is blocked, ask an owner, admin, or project lead to confirm that you can view the project. If a plan or credit limit blocks a new impact check, review your subscription and usage before trying again.

Next Steps

After reviewing an impact check, update the affected planning items before continuing work. Then return to the project overview to confirm the project still looks consistent.
