Managing approvals in Change Management

Change Management requires approvals to be complete before the change request can move to the next logical phase. Approvals are based on associated Service Level Agreements (SLA). Managers and sponsors associated with the SLA must be listed as approvers for each phase.

After the approvals are complete, you can move the request to any desired phase by setting a condition in the condition editor of a transition. You can set the transition condition to move the change request to another phase or remain in the current phase by setting the statuses to “Denied” and “Pending” respectively. For example, you can set the following conditions for the transitions in the “ECAB Approval” phase to move the change request to different phases.

Condition	Action Performed
Set the following condition in the transition from the “ECAB Approval” phase to the “Build and Test” phase Approval Status in CurrentRecord= approved AND Build Test Required in CurrentRecord= true	Change request moves from the “ECAB Approval” phase to the next phase, “Build and Test”.
Set the following condition in the transition from “ECAB Approval” to “Implementation” Approval Status in CurrentRecord= approved AND Build Test Required in CurrentRecord= false	Change request moves from the “ ECAB Approval” phase to “Implementation”.
Set the following condition in the transition from “ECAB Approval” to “Risk and Impact Analysis”. Approval Status in CurrentRecord= denied	Change request moves from the “ECAB Approval” phase to the previous phase, “Risk and Impact Analysis”.

Change requests with an impact other than 1 (Minor Impact) must be approved by a member of the Change Advisory Board (CAB).
