Change Management
Define when changes require review, approval, notice, or rollback planning.
Policy intent
Change policy should define when planned work needs review, communication, rollback, or approval. It should not force every tiny adjustment through the same path.
Minimum content
- Define who and what the policy covers, including systems, data, tools, users, vendors, and exceptions.
- Change categories and risk levels.
- Approval and communication requirements.
- Rollback and validation expectations.
- Emergency change after-review requirements.
Expected output
A policy page that states expectations clearly enough to guide approval, exception, and review decisions.
Common failure mode
Approving work without rollback, validation, or communication expectations.
