ITIL V2 Change Management
ITIL V2 Change Management


ITIL Version: ITIL V2 see also Change Management - ITIL V3

Process-Objective: In Change Management, all Changes to the IT infrastructure and its components (Configuration Items) are authorized and documented, in order to ensure that interruptive effects upon the running operation are kept to a minimum. The implementation steps are planned and communicated, in order to recognize potential side-effects as early as possible. The Change Manager and (for further-reaching Changes) the Change Advisory Board (CAB) bear the responsibility for this. A specific procedure is in existence for emergencies, dealing with Urgent Changes.

Part of: Service Support

Process Owner: Change Manager
