Why Change Management? was: IBM Unveils Change Management Software for System i

Well, this is going off on a tangent (hence the change in subject line)
but there are several reasons why people want change management purposes.
1 - Audit of what changed and why.
2 - Last time when we change this we also had to change this, this and
this. What were they again?
3 - Automatic promotion to one or more other systems.
4 - Keeping track of options that you can't easily bury in the H spec (if
RPG) like adopting authority and other like issues.
5 - Conflict resolution. If I promote this printer file and when it gets
to one of the production machines I want to find out if someone did a
CHGPRTF and changed the lines per page or some such thing by simply doing
CHGPRTF. Don't just clobber the existing printer file with the new one.
6 - Man that change was fubar. Automatically back it out.
