Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Submit Change Request (RFC)

A Request for Change (RFC) is submitted, detailing the proposed change, the business justification, a risk assessment, and a backout plan.

Step 2 - Technical Assessment & Planning

The change is assessed by technical teams for its impact and dependencies. A detailed implementation plan is created.

Step 3 - Change Approval Board (CAB) Review

The RFC, along with its risk assessment and implementation plan, is reviewed and approved by a Change Approval Board, which includes representatives from various business and IT teams.

Step 4 - Implementation & Post-Implementation Review

The change is implemented during a scheduled maintenance window. Afterwards, a post-implementation review is conducted to ensure it was successful and had the intended effect.

The Purpose of IT Change Management

This workflow provides a formal process for managing all changes to the IT environment, from server updates to software deployments. The primary goal is to minimize the risk of disruptions to business operations that can be caused by uncoordinated changes. It ensures that all changes are properly planned, tested, approved, and communicated before they are implemented in the production environment.
