Dozens of internal and external resources tried to resolve nagging issues that come with system transitions, all while keeping operations afloat.
Challenge: Because various systems had run as parallel projects with different consulting partners, there was no consistent way to manage issues, communicate status, or prioritize scarce technical resources.
Action: Initial efforts were narrowly focused to address the highest-risk issues, which meant getting on top of SAP issues. Existing issues were reviewed and scrubbed against more standard ITIL practices, and open tickets were moved into a new Atlassian (JIRA) platform for systemic management.
Result: With the pilot process established, other platforms and stakeholders were brought into this issue management process, which eventually aligned into a global Change & Release process. Consolidation of the many open issues and requirements across global platforms helped IT leadership better plan and prioritize staff as well as vendor contracts.Other creators
