Change

  • The addition, modification or removal of anything that could have an effect on IT services.
  • The scope should include changes to all architectures, processes, tools, metrics and documentation, as well as changes to IT services and other configuration items.
  • → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Transition > Change Management

Change Advisory Board (CAB)

Change Build phase

Change Classification

Change Deployment phase

Change Evaluation

Change Evaluation Report

  • Certain types of major Changes, like the introduction of a new service or a substantial change to an existing service, require formal Change evaluations before being authorized.
  • The results of a formal Change evaluation are documented in a Change Evaluation Report.
  • Change evaluations may be used at different points in a Change’s lifecycle, for example before authorizing the Change/ Release build or during the Post Implementation Review.
  • → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Transition > ITIL Change Evaluation

Change Management

Change Management Policy

  • The decision to authorize or reject a proposed Change is based on the completed Change Assessment.
  • In particular, the assessment is about properly understanding the risks associated with the implementation of a Change.
  • In this context, the Change Management Policy specifies the levels of authorization required to authorize different types of Changes and other rules for assessing Changes.
  • → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Transition > Change Management

Change Manager

Change Model

  • Change Models describe procedures for the handling of recurring Changes.
  • While Change Models can be created for Changes of any scale, they are often used to define Standard Changes (low-risk, pre-authorized Changes like installing additional hardware on a client PC).
  • → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Transition > Change Management

Change Owner

  • The person backing a Change and holding a budget for its implementation.
  • In most cases the Change Owner is identical with the RFC initiator.
  • Typically Changes are owned by Service Management roles (e.g. the Problem or Capacity Manager) or members of IT management.

Change Proposal

  • A Change Proposal describes a proposed major Change, like the introduction of a new service or a substantial change to an existing service.
  • The purpose of Change Proposals is to communicate a proposed major Change and assess its risk, impact and feasibility before design activities begin.
  • Change Proposals are typically created in Service Portfolio Management.
