Change Management Process guidelines:

The following key principles, policies and mandatory rules apply to the Change Management Process:
General guidelines:
A ticket must be opened for all requests.
All changes must be validated and authorized by business areas through contact with
respective Business Process Owners (BPO).
The process is triggered only when an authorized person requests for a change.
Key Users are the focal point of end users to request for changes.
All changes will be recorded in a Change Management system for tracking and traceability.
All changes must be approved before implementation.
Cancelled or rejected changes will not be executed.
o If a change is cancelled it is mandatory to add a reason for the cancellation.
o If a change was cancelled or rejected in error, a new Change Request must be opened.
For Pre-approved changes:
A Change Advisor Board (CAB) will be responsible to analyze and pre-approve minimum risk
requests. These changes when requested- will be implemented without an extra approval
stage or business release.
For Emergency changes:
Only requests related to critical issues stopping core business services -such billing, closure
and expedition- will be considered as Emergency Changes
An ad-hoc Emergency CAB will analyze and approve the change as emergency.
These requests will be built, tested and implemented outside of business release schedules
and full documentation will be completed after guarantying the issue has been resolved.
For Normal changes:
All Normal changes will be classified based on an assessment of their risk and impact using
change classification criteria and will be assessed on technical possibilities.
Change requests will have to wait for availability on next scheduled business release to be
implemented.
Normal changes can be implemented outside of business release schedules only if they are
