Best practices for planning your implementation
The goal of Remedy Change Management is having a well-defined change control process. This helps minimize the risk and maintain service availability while making IT related changes. That is why, getting the Change Management application up and running quickly in your organization is critical to your business’s success.
Important
In spite of which service management framework that you are using, for example, ITIL, VerSM, etc., make sure that the application is flexible enough to implement the Change Management process.
This topic outlines the best practice approach for implementing the out-of-the-box Change Management application.
