Change Management
ITIL Change management process definition
According to the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework, a Change is defined as the addition, modification, or removal of anything that could have an effect on IT services. This could include hardware, software, processes, documentation, and even personnel changes. The ITIL Change Management process is one that aims to control the lifecycle of all changes, enabling beneficial changes to be made with minimal disruption to IT services. The process involves submitting, assessing, and approving change requests, then planning, testing, and implementing the changes. Change Management also involves monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the changes and making any necessary adjustments. The process ensures that changes are made in a controlled and consistent manner, minimizing the risk of negative impacts on IT services and the business as a whole.
