What is Change Management?
Change Management is the process of ensuring that standardized methods and procedures
are used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes.
6 Keys to Change
Absolute provides 6 key control points for every change introduced into the
production environment:
- Business Need - justification for the change
- Impact Analysis - including business unit, clients, infrastructure,
applications, data and security (no more "Oops - we forgot to tell so-and-so!")
- Version Control - systematic code moves with versioning
- Test Plan - including testing checklists, documented results and
sign-offs
- Implementation Plan - step-by-step of activities for production moves,
including backout plan
- Approval - acceptance of the 6 keys

Positive Change
Aside from regulatory compliance, Change Management brings about many benefits
for your organization:
- Improves quality
- Minimizes impact of change to day-to-day operations
- Opens channels of communication, promoting smooth transitions
- Raises awareness and exposes high incidences of failure
- Tracks all changes for use in future impact assessments
