Description
Main Description | The Change Management process applies to all types of changes as they relate to the production environment. The following is a description of some of the types of changes that generally take place. Application changes These are changes to any application code that is running in production. These changes are typically made to enhance the function or performance of an existing program, or to fix a known error in the program. Hardware changes All equipment changes (whether they involve installing new equipment, upgrades to existing equipment, discontinuance, or relocation) are controlled by the Change Management process. This includes all Machine Equipment Specification (MES) and Engineering Change (EC) activity. Network changes All installations, discontinuance, and relocation of equipment used for telecommunications are entered into the change process. Environmental changes Environmental changes normally involve the facilities associated with IT. Documentation changes All changes to the standard operating procedures will be implemented through the Change Management process. Also, temporary deviations from the published schedule time for running of production applications will be communicated through the Change Management System. Note: Additional change types may be identified during implementation or process improvement.
