Hi ,

   I want to know that who is responsible for performing the risk assessment associated to change request if any.

I tried searching on servicenow docs, but no luck.

Hi @BijoyDeb ,

The responsibility for performing a risk assessment in a change request can vary depending on the organizational processes and roles defined within your ServiceNow implementation. However, typically, the responsibility for performing a risk assessment in a change request falls under the Change Manager or Change Advisory Board (CAB).

Please mark as helpful, if this response made a difference.

Thanks.

Hi @BijoyDeb,

The person responsible for performing the risk assessment associated with a change request in ServiceNow depends on the organization's specific policies and procedures. However, in general, the following people may be involved:

• The change requester: The person who initiates the change request is responsible for identifying and assessing the risks associated with the change.
• The change manager: The change manager is responsible for approving or denying the change request and for ensuring that the risks are adequately mitigated.
• The IT team: The IT team is responsible for implementing the change and monitoring for any risks that may arise.
• The business stakeholders: The business stakeholders are responsible for understanding the risks to their business and ensuring that they are adequately mitigated.
