A key point to emphasize is the difference between fast track and full track changes, as not all changes are the same. Some require more detailed analysis and approvals because their impact is greater; others are simple changes that should not be burdened with a complex analysis and “rubber stamp” signatures. The fast track change branch should handle the roughly 80% of all changes that can be done simply as an agreement between the data author and consumer, without bureaucratic delay.
CMII Closed-loop Change Process -- Full Track and Fast Track |
Because full track changes require more detail and have greater impact, there is an additional step that involves review of the ECR by the Change Review Board (CRB). The outcome of this step is a business decision on whether or not to proceed with implementation. Fast track changes bypass the CRB, and are sent directly to the Change Administrator II (CAII) for implementation. Full track changes are sent to the CRB for business decision. Fast track changes should make up about 80% of all ECRs according to the CMII standard.
There are two change boards in the CMII change process:
- Change Review Board (CRB)
- A cross-functional team with representation from different company departments
- Reviews the ECR and makes a business decision as to whether or not to proceed with implementation planning
- Change Implementation Board (CIB)
- A cross-functional team with representation from different company departments
- Reviews the implementation plan captured by the ECN and decides whether or not the plan is complete and ready to be executed
