About Change Impact Analysis

IT Operation teams are under continual pressure to deliver maximum availability of critical business applications. To reduce unplanned downtime, these teams must fully understand how every change will execute within production before the change is deployed.

Change Impact Analysis provides the ability to understand the business impact of changes before they are made to the production environment. An effective Change Impact Analysis program includes:

  • Representative staging environments
  • Easy introduction of changes into the staging environment
  • IT Operations-focused tests related to readiness, performance, availability and security
  • Analysis of change impact to minimize unplanned downtime

  • Why representative testing and staging environments increase in importance as the volume and complexity of changes increases.
