Change Management Workflows

For a detailed explanation of workflows and their role within the process model, please refer to the Introduction.

Create Change Request		status: valid
tags: change_management contains: gd_guidl__change_change_request, gd_temp__change_feature_request, gd_temp__change_component_request, gd_temp__change_impact_analysis, gd_temp__component_classification, gd_temp__change_decision_record has: doc_concept__change_process, doc_getstrt__change_process needs input: wp__policies, wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request outputs: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request responsible: rl__contributor approved by: rl__committer supported by: rl__project_lead, rl__safety_manager, rl__security_manager, rl__quality_manager satisfied by: gd_req__change_attr_uid, gd_req__change_attr_status, gd_req__change_attr_title, gd_req__change_attr_impact_description, gd_req__change_attr_impact_safety, gd_req__change_attr_impact_security, gd_req__change_attr_types, gd_req__change_attr_affected_wp, gd_req__change_attr_milestone, gd_req__change_attr_mandatory, gd_req__change_tool_impact_analysis
The Change Request is created. For creating the Change Request template must be used. Check here for the available templates: Getting Started on Change M... (doc_getstrt__change_process) or Change Request Guideline (gd_guidl__change_change_request). To start the analysis the Change Request status is changed to “in review”

Analyze Change Request		status: valid
tags: change_management contains: gd_guidl__change_change_request, gd_temp__change_feature_request, gd_temp__change_component_request, gd_temp__change_impact_analysis, gd_temp__component_classification, gd_temp__change_decision_record has: doc_concept__change_process, doc_getstrt__change_process needs input: wp__policies, wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request outputs: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request responsible: rl__contributor approved by: rl__project_lead supported by: rl__committer, rl__safety_manager, rl__security_manager, rl__quality_manager satisfied by: gd_req__change_attr_uid, gd_req__change_attr_status, gd_req__change_attr_title, gd_req__change_attr_impact_description, gd_req__change_attr_impact_safety, gd_req__change_attr_impact_security, gd_req__change_attr_types, gd_req__change_attr_affected_wp, gd_req__change_attr_milestone, gd_req__change_attr_mandatory, gd_req__change_tool_impact_analysis
The Change Request is analyzed. Until the template is not filled out properly, the Change Request may be set back to “open” from the Committer (rl__committer). If the Change Request shall be implemented, the Change Request status is set to “in implementation”, otherwise to “rejected”. The author of the Change Request may cancel it, thus the status is set to “rejected”.

Implement and Monitor Change Request		status: valid
tags: change_management contains: gd_guidl__change_change_request, gd_temp__change_feature_request, gd_temp__change_component_request, gd_temp__change_impact_analysis, gd_temp__component_classification, gd_temp__change_decision_record has: doc_concept__change_process, doc_getstrt__change_process needs input: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request outputs: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request responsible: rl__contributor approved by: rl__committer supported by: rl__project_lead, rl__safety_manager, rl__security_manager, rl__quality_manager satisfied by: gd_req__change_attr_uid, gd_req__change_attr_status, gd_req__change_attr_title, gd_req__change_attr_impact_description, gd_req__change_attr_impact_safety, gd_req__change_attr_impact_security, gd_req__change_attr_types, gd_req__change_attr_affected_wp, gd_req__change_attr_milestone, gd_req__change_attr_mandatory, gd_req__change_tool_impact_analysis
The Change Request is implemented and monitored. This may require additional activities, including creating ISSUEs and PRs. These are linked to the Change Request and monitored until closure. The Change Request is done, if all linked activities has been closed and confirmed. Before closing the Change Request, Committer (rl__committer) must check the correctness. The Committer (rl__committer) may still reject it, thus the status is set to “rejected”. The author of the Change Request may cancel it, thus the status is set to “rejected”.

Close Change Request		status: valid
tags: change_management contains: gd_guidl__change_change_request, gd_temp__change_feature_request, gd_temp__change_component_request, gd_temp__change_impact_analysis, gd_temp__component_classification, gd_temp__change_decision_record has: doc_concept__change_process, doc_getstrt__change_process needs input: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request outputs: wp__issue_track_system, wp__feat_request, wp__cmpt_request responsible: rl__committer approved by: rl__project_lead supported by: rl__safety_manager, rl__security_manager, rl__quality_manager satisfied by: gd_req__change_attr_uid, gd_req__change_attr_status, gd_req__change_attr_title, gd_req__change_attr_impact_description, gd_req__change_attr_impact_safety, gd_req__change_attr_impact_security, gd_req__change_attr_types, gd_req__change_attr_affected_wp, gd_req__change_attr_milestone, gd_req__change_attr_mandatory, gd_req__change_tool_impact_analysis
The Change Request is closed. The Change Request is closed only, if the implementation is sufficient. That is verified by the Committer (rl__committer) finally. Otherwise the Committer (rl__committer) keeps the status “in implementation”.
