We've been using Aldon's Change Management System for the past 7 years.
We're very pleased with the job it does.

Currently, we have a 2-pronged production environment.  The left column is
a 'major project implementation.'  Programs are 'checked out' to the
developer library for the major project, and are then promoted to the
library 'below' it in the column.

When a project from the Major Project Production Library has been blessed
for production,  it is moved sideways into the LIVE LIVE environment.

This allows us to have a fully parallel test environment that feeds into
the live-live environment:



Developer libraries (1 per programmer)          Developer Library
        V                                       V
Major Project Integration Library
        V                                       V
Major Project Quality Assurance Library         Live Environment Quality
Assurance Library
        V                                       V
Major Project Production Library > > > > > > > > > >    LIVE LIVE Environment



And you can repeat this for each application.

If you don't need the bells and whistles, you can simply have  Developer,
QA, and LIVE environments.

But the flexibility is there.
