The Reference Data Change Request Process typically involves the following sub-processes:
Receive Change Request:
Initiation: The process begins with the receipt of a change request, formally logged and
acknowledged.
Identify Stakeholder:
Stakeholder Identification: Identifying all relevant stakeholders who need to be involved or informed
about the change.
Identify Impact:
Impact Analysis: Assessing the potential impact of the requested change on existing systems,
processes, and data.
Decide and Communicate:
Decision Making: Reviewing the change request, making a decision, and communicating the
outcome to stakeholders.
Excluded Step - Monitor Database Change: While monitoring database changes is important for
overall data management, it is not typically part of the specific change request process for reference
data. This step pertains more to ongoing operational monitoring rather than the change request
workflow.
