Introduction1.1 Purpose of the documentThe purpose of this document is to explain Change Management process defined and implemented within ABB IS RUN. It describes definitions, scope, policies, activities, roles & responsibilities and many other practicalities that will help understand and run Change Management process from operational perspective. This document outlines the operating guidelines for daily activities and processes used by all Change Management stakeholders.1.2 AudienceThis document is intended to be used by ABB IS RUN personnel and Service Suppliers. Specifically Service Suppliers will be responsible to align their internal working practices to this document in regards to handling Changes.2. Change Management process2.1 DefinitionA Change is defined as the addition, modification or removal of an authorized, planned or supported service or Configuration Item (CI). Changes may occur due to introduction of a new service, modification to an existing service or termination of an existing service in an IT Infrastructure or for fixing a problem in an existing system.Change Management helps organizations understand and work to minimize risks of changes to the IT environment. It is essentially a process for managing the people-side of change. 2.2 ScopeChange Management process can be used to track and manage all IT infrastructure changes. A software application change may include enhancements/modifications to existing applications to address identified problems, address business needs or any other requirement. Similarly a hardware change may include changes to computing devices, network components, storage devices and other hardware Configuration Items (CI) to replace malfunctioning hardware, increase hardware capacity or other requirements. In other words, changes to all Configuration Items will be governed by this process. 2.3 Process Inputs and OutputsUpdated CMDBPIR ReportsApproved and ImplementedChange DocumentationOther ProcessesPIR ReportsBusiness RequirementsChange PoliciesCI Data from CMDBChange Management process2.4 Related ProcessesProcess Input to Change Management Output from Change Management Incident Management Trigger for Change Report on incidents arising out of the failed changes Approvals, Risk Assessment and control of change required to be implemented for incident resolution.Problem Management Trigger for Change Report on problems arising out of the failed changes Approvals, Risk Assessment and control of change required to be implemented for problem resolution.Service Asset andConfiguration Management CI Verification Information on changes to CIs for updates of CMDBKnowledge Management Input for process improvement Change Reports Service Catalogue Management Service Requests Updates to Service CatalogueTable 1Related Processes2.5 Process ObjectivesThe goal of Change Management process is to maintain the integrity of the controlled IS environment.
