Änderungsmanagementprozess

Änderungsmanagementprozess refers to the systematic approach used to manage and control changes within an organization. It outlines the steps and procedures required to introduce, evaluate, approve, implement, and review changes to systems, processes, products, or services. The primary goal of a change management process is to minimize disruption, reduce risks, and ensure that changes are implemented effectively and efficiently.

A typical change management process begins with the identification of a proposed change. This could stem from various sources, such as user requests, system upgrades, new regulations, or strategic initiatives. Once identified, the change is documented, detailing its purpose, scope, and potential impact. Following documentation, a thorough evaluation takes place to assess the feasibility, risks, benefits, and resource requirements associated with the proposed change.

Based on the evaluation, a decision is made regarding the approval or rejection of the change. If approved, the change is planned, including the development of implementation strategies, rollback plans, and communication protocols. The implementation phase involves executing the planned changes, often during scheduled maintenance windows to minimize operational impact. After implementation, a review is conducted to verify that the change has been successful, assess its effectiveness, and document any lessons learned. This structured approach ensures that changes are handled in a controlled and organized manner, promoting stability and continuous improvement within the organization.
