IT Change Management for Nonprofits

Server upgrades, software deployments, network changes — without structured change management, well-intentioned changes cause outages and disruptions. A simple change process prevents most technology failures.

When Changes Go Wrong

Most technology outages are caused by changes — not hardware failures.

Changes That Break Things

A well-intentioned firewall update that blocks your donor CRM. A software upgrade that corrupts your database. Without change management, changes are made without testing or review.

Nobody Knows What Changed

The email system stopped working after the weekend. Nobody knows what changed. Without documentation, troubleshooting starts from zero.

Simple Change Management

Enough process to prevent problems without bureaucratic overhead.

Change Request Process

Simple form documenting what, why, when, and rollback plan for every change.
