What will you do? Service Continuity Analyst (Change & Release)

The primary role of the Change Analyst covers two distinct areas. Firstly to proactively liaise with support and engineering teams to ensure the timely delivery of change within agreed lead times; ensuring teams submit compliant Requests for Change (RFCs); undue risk, unauthorised changes and unplanned outages are maintained at a minimal level. Secondly the coordination of release planning and acceptance, rollout planning and the provision of management information about Release Management quality and operations.

Some accountabilities of the role:

*

Review allocated RFCs, assessing the priority, impact and risk of all changes, recommending for rejection those that do not meet the requisite level of planning, testing and business sign-off and ensuring the combination of changes do not add to the overall risk. Authorise acceptable changes or refer high risk or high impact changes for approval by the Change Advisory Board (CAB).

*

Help prepare the CAB agenda, circulating all appropriate RFCs to the CAB members ahead of meetings to allow prior consideration. Produce minutes following every CAB. Help convene urgent CAB or Emergency Change Advisory Board (ECAB) for appropriate urgent or emergency RFCs.

*

Ensure suitable change and release records are kept as agreed with the Service & Operations Manager. Analyse change records to determine any trends. Produce Change and Release management reports to agreed schedules.

*

Help prepare the forward schedule of change alongside the IT Change Manager via Business Interrupting Change meetings which will enable the Change and Release Management team to influence scheduled change dates at an early point in the development life cycle to enable risk factors to be mitigated prior to release.

*

Provide appropriate and timely support and assistance to both technical and business colleagues on the process and required documentation to ensure that complete and accurate information is submitted on all RFCs.

*

Complete any Change process reporting as required in line with the IT Change Manager.

*

Deputise for the Change and Release Manager when required.
