change-management-policy

What problem does it solve?

Change requests often get the wrong level of scrutiny, causing production incidents either because review is theater or because critical risk gets rubber-stamped.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define risk tiers for Standard, Normal, Major, and Emergency changes so approval rigor matches blast radius and rollback reality.
• Specify evidence and approvers per tier including tested rollback, abort criteria for major changes, and post-change retrospective for emergencies.
• Prevent CAB anti-patterns (rationale-less approvals, blame-shifting, vibes-based decisions, bottlenecks) so the review catches real risk before release.
• Use emergency carve-outs correctly during declared incidents without turning the exception into the default.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to draft a risk-tiered change-management policy for your organization’s CAB process, including evidence requirements, tier assignment rules, and the emergency-change carve-out.
