Change control has a wide variety of applications within RevOps and beyond. One common example of change control in action is the process involved in sunsetting outdated software. IT departments, along with stakeholders from procurement and other relevant teams assess whether the system needs to be replaced and analyze the risks.
If they decide to sunset the system, they begin the process of working it into their release schedule. If not, they communicate to the stakeholders why the legacy system can’t be replaced at that time.
