Managing Change Specifications

After a change has been executed or implemented, the Change Order enters a change state that is managed by CACF and that change state has change verification active set. When the Change Order is in this state, CACF reviews all related CI activity and reports the status of each change specification to the scoreboard.

The scoreboard is used by the Change Manager to verify that the required changes have been correctly executed as well as to perform any manual verifications that were required by the change orders.

Once all verifications for a Change Order are complete, the Change Order may optionally be automatically promoted to the next Change Order state (typically closed) where all change specifications are automatically marked inactive.
