In conversations with IT leaders about change management, we hear the same story over and over again: “Every time we have an outage, it seems like it’s due to changes made somewhere in our environment. We are doing this to ourselves.”

Recent analyst findings confirm what you probably already know:

• 80% of unplanned downtime is caused by unforeseen impacts from changes made
• 80% of the time spent to resolve an incident (MTTR) is spent investigating the question “what changed” in the IT environment

Each team in IT has their own perspective on a change, and all too often a critical perspective is left out of change planning. Change approvers also struggle to confidently made decisions based on limited information and under pressure to implement changes needed to support business objectives. What’s more with high turnover of IT employees, important lessons are re-learned over and over again. The net result is poor decision-making, lost productivity, higher operational costs, and significant risk to the business.
