A good status accounting system should be able to answer questions such as the following and many more:
◦What is the status of an item?
◦Has a particular CR been approved?
◦What is its status of pending or open CRs and PRs?
◦What items were affected by a particular CR?
◦When was the CR approved and who approved it?
◦Who performed the change for a particular CR and when was it completed? Who reviewed it? Who approved it?
