Description: 

Speedy Change Control is not an oxymoron. This tutorial will provide practical, actionable steps to streamline and speed up change control at your organization without increasing risks. In The Visible Ops Handbook, authors Behr, Kim, and Spafford identify a culture of change management as common to high-performing IT groups: “change management does not slow things down in these organizations.” This tutorial will help anyone wishing to implement phase one of the handbook: “Stabilize The Patient” And “Modify First Response”. While I draw heavily on IT infrastructure Library (ITIL) guidance, much of this is common sense good practice based on lessons learned from past success and failure. No special ticketing system, tools or ITIL knowledge are necessary. I am a certified ITIL Expert. I have over five years of experience designing, improving and managing a successful change management process at an audited technology company delivering public registry and DNS services running on complex technologies across international data centers.
