Change Management Workflows
CSM offers three workflows based on Change types.
Change Types
- Standard - Does not require review.
- Normal - Requires review but is not urgent.
- Emergency - Requires review and is urgent.
Contributors
A Change typically has several contributors. Depending on your workflow and the size of your company, many of these contributors may have any of the following combined roles:
- Creator: User who first logs the Change. This is typically a technician.
- Requestor: User who requests the Change. This is typically an IT manager.
- Owner: User who manages the Change. This is typically a change manager.
- Approver: User who ensures that the Change should be implemented. This is typically one or more members of the CAB Team.
