A change description states the problem, the approach and its alternatives, how it was tested and what reviewers should look at; it links the ticket and lists risks and follow-ups, so review starts with understanding instead of archaeology.

Goal

Give reviewers the context they need to judge the change in one reading, and leave a record that explains the change to future maintainers.

Prerequisites

A change that is small enough to review; if the description needs several sections of "also", split the change.

Steps

Problem: what is wrong or missing, with a link to the ticket or the observation that prompted the work.
Approach: what the change does and why this way; mention alternatives considered and why they lost.
Scope: what is deliberately not included, and any follow-up work planned.
Testing: what was run (automated tests, manual steps, environments) and what was not; include how a reviewer can reproduce.
Risk and rollout: migrations, feature toggles, backwards compatibility, monitoring to watch after deployment, rollback path.
Review guidance: where to look first, and which decisions you are unsure about.
Keep the description current as the change evolves during review; the merged description should match the merged code.

Expected result

Fewer review rounds spent on clarifying intent; a history where each merged change explains itself.

Limits and test basis

Templates help only if they are filled with substance; empty headings are noise. Trivial changes deserve a one-line description. No measurement is claimed.
