IT Service: Digitized Customer Change Management Charter Project

This project charter outlines a comprehensive plan for implementing digitized customer change management within an organization. The project aims to minimize disruptions, record and authorize changes, and effectively manage associated risks. Key objectives include reducing operational expenditure, decreasing end-to-end time, increasing customer change quality and NPS, and boosting productivity. The project will utilize ITIL best practices, managed within ServiceNow's PPM module, and involves forming a project team with weekly meetings. Deliverables include defining change processes, establishing a Change Advisory Board (CAB), developing a RACI Matrix, creating checklists for change types, defining KPIs, and reducing major incidents. Constraints include staff availability, ITIL knowledge, and budget, while risks involve resource availability, technical knowledge, and perception of bureaucracy. The project's success will be measured by a decrease in major incidents and low volumes of changes bypassing the process. The charter also includes assumptions, references, and a detailed cost-benefit analysis, aiming to transform the organization's change management capabilities.

APPROACH
A project team will be formed to develop the Agile Project delivery.
 The team will utilize ITIL best practices as a foundation for their
work, and will be provided an overview of the Service Transition
lifecycle stage, and how it interacts with other lifecycle stages.
 The project will be managed within ServiceNow’s Project Portfolio
Management
(PPM) module.
 The time commitment from the project team includes approx. 1
hour per week for a formal project meeting, where the team will
provide updates and plan future
tasks/deliverables.
 Some team members may be assigned tasks to be completed
between weekly project meetings; these tasks may be individual or
small group.

PROJECT VIABILITY
Digitized end to end process
to:Drive a 10% reduction in
operational expenditure
Decrease end to end time by 5
days
Increase the quality of customer

DELIVERABLES
 Definition of change processes, and examples of
changes that apply to each change type.
 A defined process for all changes.
 Agile platform to be used to record, authorize, and
manage changes.
 Define the expectations of a Change Advisory Board. It
is expected that the CAB will meet weekly with the task
of reviewing, organizing, advising, and postchange
reviewing all changes. It is also expected that the CAB
will:
Review past changes for effectiveness, and
improvement.
Review future changes to ensure collisions with other
changes are
mitigated; and minimize the effect to users

 Develop a RACI Matrix to define the expectations of all participants of the
Change Management process, including a Change Manager, and person
performing change.
 Develop checklists for change types and define what items are required to
be included in the Change record, such as: need for change, testing plan,
implementation plan, change plan, communication plan,
backout/remediation plan, and risk assessment.
 Define CSF as well as KPI to gauge the success of the Change process.
 Reduction of Major Incidents
 Currently approx. 50% of all Major Incidents are caused by a change.
Set the goal to reduce this to 20%.
 Ensure all Changes are documented, and follow the defined process
DELIVERABLES CONT’D

DELIVERABLES CONT’D
 The expectation that all Standard/Routine Changes have
documented work
procedures, that once approved are considered pre-
authorized.
 Process training to all staff involved in the Change
Management process.
 An awareness of next-steps once Change Management
process goes live.
 Define Maintenance Windows in which to conduct changes.
 Define Blackout windows when no Changes are to be
conducted (e.g., beginning of semester, etc). Determine if
blackout windows include standard changes.
