Change Management in ITIL 2011

ITIL Change Management
Change Management, ITIL 2011

Sat, 24 November 2011

Change Management, with its ten sub-processes, is still one of the most complex processes in ITIL.

A new sub-process "Assessment of Change Proposals" has been added in ITIL 2011. Change Proposals are typically submitted by Service Portfolio Management. The purpose of the assessment is to identify possible issues prior to the start of Service Design activities.

Major changes need to be evaluated prior to their authorization. Change Management now submits major Changes to the Change Evaluation process for a formal assessment. Once a Change is authorized and scheduled, detailed planning and deployment are handled by the Transition Planning and Support and Release Management processes.

Low-risk and well understood Minor Changes are typically implemented without the involvement of Release Management.

The RACI Matrix - a powerful tool for managing responsibilities in ITIL processes

ITIL RACI Matrix
Start Video: ITIL RACI Matrix

Thu, 11 October 2012

The ITIL Process Map uses a RASCI matrix to provide a summary of the ITIL roles and their levels of responsibility in the various ITIL processes.

RACI matrices are especially useful in clarifying roles and responsibilities in cross-functional processes. RASCI is an extended variant of the commonly known RACI model, which defines the participation of roles in different activities: R - Responsible, A - Accountable, S - Support, C - Consulted and I - Informed.

Our video is based on the Visio version of the ITIL Process Map where the RACI matrix comes in the form of an Excel table. This makes it easy to adapt the matrix to the specific needs of the organization.
