Change Management System for Software Production Environments

Abstract

Changes in the IT production environment occur on a day-to-day basis. These need to be managed from their origination to termination. These modifications need to be recorded and approved at the appropriate level in order to manage these changes well. Change Management aims to help firms recognize and minimize the risks of modifications to the IT production environment. Detection of changes to the production environment, their handling, recording, and approval/refusal of these changes are all part of Change Management. An organization that is see-through about its work would have its change management process avert change-coupled events, minimize the negative impact on the conveyance of services to its users and clients, and conduct a legal, systematic methodology in handling all the changes. This paper discusses the significance of change management and system optimization strategies to manage changes in the production environment and analyses the performance of the same.
