Dynamic Change Management (Agile)

[L Siltman]

Looking to see how other companies are handling Agile change management.

• How many CAB meetings do you hold a week?
• What changes do you review?
• Who attends the meetings?
• Do you have a board?

Right now I only have one meeting and I am the only one that does the talking.

Any input on this would be great.

Thanks

Hi @L Siltman 

I worked as a Change Manager and am happy to share my thoughts. Also, as a BPC, I have supported many of my clients in setting up the Change process.

• How many CAB meetings do you hold a week?
• Atul:It depends on the number, type, and nature of changes. For example, in one telecom company, they had three different CAB meetings, each for one hour — one for network changes, one for database changes, and one for application changes. So, technically and practically, having one CAB each week is good.
•  
• What changes do you review?
•  Atul: Again, it depends on moderation. High-risk changes must go to the CAB. We can create more criteria — for example, only high-risk, high-impact, or critical BS/CI changes must go to the CAB. There was a time when I also discussed low-risk changes in the CAB.
•  
• Who attends the meetings?
• Atul:Change Requestor, Change Manager, CAB Manager, CAB members (a combination of business stakeholders), and one member from the deployment team.
•  
• Do you have a board?
• Atul: Board — are you referring to the CAB? Yes, we have one. But with the CAB board alone, the process is only half-cooked
