Impact analysis is the process of identifying and evaluating the potential consequences of a change. It is used to determine whether the change is likely to have a positive or negative impact on the business and to identify any risks or mitigation strategies that may be necessary.
There are several different steps involved in conducting an impact analysis. The first step is to identify the scope of the change. This includes identifying the specific changes that will be made, as well as the business units or processes that will be affected. The next step is to identify the potential impacts of the change. This includes both positive and negative impacts, as well as short-term and long-term impacts. Once the potential impacts have been identified, they need to be evaluated. This involves assessing the likelihood and severity of each impact, as well as the potential costs and benefits of the change. The final step is to develop a mitigation strategy. This involves identifying and implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or severity of any negative impacts.
Impact analysis is an important tool for businesses of all sizes. It can help businesses make informed decisions about change and mitigate its associated risks.

Nice simple steps to perform impact analysis. I would also like to remark that impact analysis is not only performed during change. Businesses should also assess impact when deviation (including out of specification) occurs, during correct and preventive action handling, whenever a new risk is identified etc.
