Change Management Process

The first folder that youโ€™ll see in this template is โ€˜RFCsโ€™. RFC stands for Request For Comments and is commonly used for storing technical notes and documentation. The folder contains some sample tasks that represent examples of change management tasks for IT teams.ย 

The pre-built โ€˜Change Requestโ€™ form populates this folder with new change tasks. It uses one of the templates that weโ€™ll discuss below.ย 

The tasks created in the โ€˜RFCsโ€™ folder come with pre-created custom fields to track, filter, and report on data such as a changeโ€™s impact, rating, type, and urgency. They also capture the team requesting the change, and indicate if this is an emergency change.ย 

The tasks here use a pre-built custom workflow - โ€˜Change Managementโ€™ - with statuses representing an example of a typical flow for IT change management.ย 

The โ€˜zTemplatesโ€™ folder can be used both for creating a new change request for the IT team, and for checking all requirements for different types of changes like procedure changes, network changes, application changes, etc.ย 

The tools section includes three dashboards: โ€˜Emergency changesโ€™, โ€˜Change managerโ€™, and โ€˜Change runwayโ€™; a โ€˜Change Calendarโ€™, and a โ€˜Change Teamsโ€™ report.ย 

We really hope that youโ€™ll find this template useful for change management processes. Please let us know in the comments if your IT team may be interested in using it, or if you have an established process already ๐Ÿ‘‡

This is a great template, but our CT department uses something else (not wrike) and has a different process set up.

We have actively been working on making a process like this, so we've now set up the new template and we're going to try it out and customize it as needed.ย

This workflow appears very cool for IT teams but it doesn't work for the team for which I project manage marketing projects.

Great template, but our IT department uses JIRA to manage their work. We can use some of the ideas for other teams handling feature requests in Marketing.

This is awesome! We sort of reinvented the wheel with our change management tracking before I saw this template. I will definitely steal from this though.
