Change Management mApp Solution 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 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. Standard Changes do not require an approval.
