Abstract
A method and associated systems for analyzing a change request of a project that involves an IT system, where IT system contains IT artifacts that have predefined relationships. One or more processors obtain a change request; use information contained in the change request to select an applicable decomposition agent; use information in the selected decomposition agent to decompose the change request into a set of component sub-change requests; correlate at least one of the sub-change requests with one of the IT artifacts; and display the sub-change requests. In alternate implementations, selecting the applicable decomposition agent may require additional user input.
