I have been tasked with compiling a list of possible network equipment changes at a data center. The task includes tagging which changes need change control and which don't. Does anyone know of a "best practices" list that I can start from?

The methods for doing change control at this data center are well established. The list would be of specific configuration items that should or should not be included in the change control process, of example;

static route entries
switch port assignments
firewall rule additions/changes
etc.
