The Change (or Configuration) Control Board (CCB), the board that oversees the change process, consists of representatives from all interested parties, including customers, developers, and users. In a small project, a single person, such as the project manager or software architect, may play this role. In the Rational Unified Process, this is shown by the Change Control Manager role.
