Change Management
Change management is all about making changes to a system in a controlled and organized way. When we want to make a change to a system, the most important thing is to ensure that the change is approved and authorized. We don't want any unauthorized changes happening.
There are a few steps involved in the change management process. First, we need to request the change and get it approved. Then, we document the change and test it to make sure it works properly. We present the testing results to a change control board for review. Once the change is approved, we implement it and document the changes made.
Two important things in change management are approval and documentation. Only approved changes should happen, and we need to keep a record of all the changes made. This helps us ensure that everything is done properly and that we can track any changes made to the system.
There are also different environments in change management. The development environment is where we create and develop a new system. The production environment is where the system is used for day-to-day operations. We also have a test environment where we can make changes without affecting the production environment. It's important to have proper approval and separation of duties when making changes in these environments.
Overall, change management is about making changes to a system in a controlled and authorized way, while keeping proper documentation and following a predictable process.
