Urgency: Gateway to ensure better responsiveness to Change Requests!
Urgency is typically determined based on the impact and criticality of a Change Request. It helps organizations identify which Change Requests (CRs) require immediate attention to minimize disruption and ensure business continuity. Urgency in managing CRs is often associated with time-sensitive changes, such as critical incidents, security vulnerabilities, or regulatory compliance requirements.
Effective Change Management practices leverage Urgency as a tool to ensure timely response and action while maintaining a focus on quality, stability, and overall service improvement.
