The change and configuration management process flow provides the overall structure for this SMF with a consistent set of processes for initiating and completing changes.

Change and configuration management consists of the following tasks:

• Baseline the configuration.
• Initiate the change.
• Classify the change.
• Approve the change.
• Develop and test the change.
• Release the change.
• Validate and review the change.
