Recommendation<\/strong>: For organizations that want to get started pragmatically – without investing time in oversized processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRequirement-driven expansion – “Lean with approval”<\/h2>\n\n\n\nMore structure – without losing mobility.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is where the request becomes the central control instance. It serves as the basis for approvals and can bundle several features. The request is therefore something like a “change request”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What it brings:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Simple extension of the change process if initial guidelines, approvals or internal specifications are to take effect<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Linking test cases directly in the request<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Possibility to group features with a common goal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Advantages:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Increased degree of control<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Better transparency for larger projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- More security for quality-critical changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Restrictions:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Not yet a complete incident process<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Depending on the governance, maintenance can become more complex<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The \u201cnaming\u201d does not fit quite so well (\u201crequirement\u201d instead of \u201cchange request\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Recommendation<\/strong>: For organizations with moderate compliance requirements that want to enable controlled freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFully integrated – “Lean with ITSM integration”<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen all systems talk – and you keep track of everything.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this variant, SAP Cloud ALM is integrated into an existing ITSM tool – e.g. via the blue.works alm360 Hub, which, thanks to its flexible architecture, can integrate any ITSM tool that offers an external interface (API). This creates a seamless process from incident to change and deployment management. This is an important step towards the “Business Transformation Suite”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this makes possible:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Classic change process including approvals, documentation and traceability <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Clear assignment of incidents to transports<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consistent end-to-end transparency <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Advantages:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Optimal governance for complex environments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Central control across all tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traceability and compliance ensured throughout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Restrictions:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Technical integration required<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Higher initial outlay, but sustainable benefits <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Recommendation<\/strong>: For companies that want to set up their entire IT transformation strategically and do not want to take any risks in terms of quality and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion: Start smart. Scale with clarity. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every change needs structure – but not every structure has to be complicated. The big advantage of the SAP Cloud ALM approach is that you can start where you are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are a small, agile feature team or manage complex corporate IT: with the right setup, you not only achieve clean go-lives – you also create the basis for: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Efficiency in implementation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Transparency across all levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Trust between business, IT and external partners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
