People often only learn about a changed process when something goes wrong. Yet it would be possible to say beforehand what a change affects – if the connections are attached to the process.
Comparison with the valid version
The starting point is the comparison with the valid model version: which steps have been changed, added or removed? For each changed step, TAOM shows what is attached to it and summarises it in an assessment. Changes only to layout or measurement data do not count.
WRICEF is a term from SAP projects and stands for workflows, reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements and forms – everything that is developed beyond the standard.
One process instead of rounds of coordination
Instead of asking business, IT and quality one by one, everyone sees the same decision overview. A reported variant – from the Viewer, for example – becomes a draft that Change Impact assesses before it is approved.
Whoever needs to check something finds out, too: if a decision changes the model, TAOM identifies the affected test cases, specifications and the required approval. Those responsible see the review task among their tasks in reporting and mark it as done.
If a test is missing, you see it
If a test-relevant step has no test case, the assessment shows it immediately. “We changed it” becomes “we know what it affects”.
In short
Change Impact turns a change into a decision with the cards on the table: requirements, tests, risks, approvals and roles at a glance – before approval.
