@@ -234,6 +234,9 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 - Changed `MisconfigurationException` to `ModuleNotFoundError` when `rich` isn't available ([#11360](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11360))
 
 
+- Changed `parallel_devices` property in `ParallelStrategy` to be lazy initialized ([#11572](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11572))

 - Sorted `SimpleProfiler(extended=False)` summary based on mean duration for each hook ([#11671](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11671))
