Change Approval
What Is Change Approval?
Change approval is the process of reviewing and authorizing a planned release or system change before it reaches production. It is common in enterprise environments where reliability, compliance, or operational governance require formal release control.
Why Change Approval Matters
Change approval matters because it can:
- reduce avoidable production risk,
- create accountability around sensitive changes,
- support regulated operating models,
- affect delivery speed when approval systems become slow.
