>From reading through what you are doing at a high level, I would configure it as such:
Give your "assignees" the Change Manager Role. Make the testers the Change Assignee. Then configure your Approval Mappings that sends an approval to the Change Assignee group. What you are doing would work too but I would be concerned about reporting metrics and things so that is something to think about if you haven't done so already. Tauf Chowdhury Analyst, Service Management Office: 631.858.7765 Mobile:646.483.2779 From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pierson, Shawn Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Change Manager Role in Change Management 7 ** Good afternoon, I've been thinking about using the Change Manager role on Change Management to reflect testers for changes rather than listing the manager of the group making the change. The reason is because at this point, the person that actually "manages" the schedule and verifies that that tasks are completed are the Assignees, and most I.T. management prefer to do approvals and use reports rather than interact directly with the Change application. So, what I am thinking of doing is setting up all of the potential testing approvers as Change Managers so that going forward, the Assignee can pick one of them, and we do an ad hoc approval before implementation that picks up the Change Manager to do the approval. Can anyone see any down side to using the Change Manager field in this way? Is there a better way to have people performing the UAT do a sign-off in change management?
