Assignment: Change Management Methodology Proposal
1. Imagine a gaming company has many computer systems but no formal methodology to make changes to these systems. As the IT Manager, the CIO has asked you to draft a change management methodology proposal.

o IT governance committee you would put in place to review and prioritize changes based on business needs and objectives and the severity of the change
o A mock-up of the form the stakeholder fills out to request a system change (a stakeholder would be an end-user, manager, or IT staff member)
o The process used to evaluate system changes and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), including any effect on budgeting and resources, such as time or people, or the severity of the change
o The decision-making process used to determine whether internal staff or contractors should be used to complete a system change; include IT sourcing and contracting recommended practices
o The importance of configuration management requirements and their impact on business processes or services
o The methods you would use for handling conflict and other problems, such as failure to meet SLAs as they arise during a project
o The process you would use to evaluate the success of the system change.
