Hi all and happy new year:
Considering the PMBOK 5, what is the process that the change management plan is an output?
My concern is that, the change management plan is developed or created in which process throughout the project? Saving Changes...

Good question. It depends on if there are preestablished plans at your organization, which methodologies are used, if high-level management have qualifications for de-risking item...etc.
I would look to a change framework for best guidance like ITIL among many others. Does anyone have a change management method other then ITIL they prefer?

It is created during the Planning Process. It falls under Intergration Management Knowledge Area: It is an output of creating Project Management Plan. It contains:
Change Control Procedures Approved Levels for Authorizing Changed Change Control Board personnel and their duties and responsibilities Plan how changes will be managed and controlled Who should attend meetings Emergency Change Process Organizational Tools
That being said, I would say that the main inputs should be:
Enterprise Environmental Factors (Cuture and Existing Systems) Organizational Process Assets (Procedures and Processes, historical informtation and Lessons Learned)
Tool and Techniques can include:
Expert Opinions Meetings Group Facilitiating Techniques

Great post Rami.
To add to your tools, i'd say that existing frameworks and previous change work be used in an organizational process/document review.

hi Rami
Thank you for the contribution; what you say is logical, but the concern is that it is regularly mentioned the change management plan in the PMBOK5; but there is not a clear process that change management plan would be the output. On page 72 which refers to develop PMP, it does not appear anywhere the creation of Change Management Plan
but I remain on your proposal, hoping that this will be clearer in future editions of PMBOK

You are welcome Tresor. Yes, I am aware of how it is mentioned in the PMBOK. It is also explained in a little bit more details im Rita Malcahy Book: PMP Exam Prep. I concluded the above based on experience and common sense. Moreover, check the below link, it might be useful to you:
