Oh, how often we start out with one application update only to find at the end of the approval lifecycle that update no longer resembles anything remotely like its origins. Is change management killing your product's functionality? If you've ever experienced this maddening stream of Process management hell, you know there's a real need to control the governance of the change management process. The cost of endless, repetitive changes are yet another factor hampering your IT department's effectiveness.

The software application management gurus over at MKS have developed a great white paper on how to unify the change management process and bring under control the automated IT and software processes. The paper promises to show you ways of "uniting process frameworks such as ITIL, CMMI and CobiT, to better meet IT governance and compliance goals, achieve higher levels of process maturity and make substantial productivity gains."
