Change Types

The sections below describe different types of change management requests.

Request Types

Description

Expedited Change

Used to address a Break/Fix, an unplanned change based on a customer's request, vendor availability, or degradation of service.

Standard Change

Change that is low risk, has little to no impact, and is of routine nature.

Non-Standard Change

Often non-trivial changes to systems, services, and infrastructure. Require communication to end-users or the campus community and may require internal and external planning, assessment, authorization, CAB review, and scheduling before implementation.

Firewall Change

Firewall Changes are a subset of Standard changes used for routine firewall alterations. This change type follows the Standard Change workflow, automatically sets fields related to impact, and includes additional prompts for Firewall specific information. Firewall Changes require team lead approval but do not require CAB approval. Changes to the firewall that will have significant impacts on major services should be planned and completed as Non-Standard Changes.

Standard

Standard changes have a very low risk and a predictable outcome. They are relatively common, follow a procedure or work instruction, and require minimal communication.

  1. Complete the form. All RFCs that alter production configurations or programs need to have been tested in a non-production environment and include documented procedures to regress the change via a set of well-understood back-out procedures. 

    • If this is not possible, the Functional Approver must indicate the reason why such practices are bypassed.

    • The Approvers field is for your Team Lead. While approval is not required for Expedite Changes, adding your Team Lead will allow them to receive notifications for the ticket. To enter the Team Lead, enter their email address or lastname, firstname.  

    • Additional technicians are any technicians who will be working on or must remain updated about the change order. To enter the additional technicians enter their email address or lastname, firstname. They will be added as Watchers to the ticket.

  2. At the bottom of the form, you can choose to publish a notice on the IT Status page.
