Key Enhancements and Known Issues

The following key features are available in the Aras Unified Change Management Release 30

Change Process Coverage

Aras Unified Change Management supports the full lifecycle of a change, including creation, review, approval, implementation, and closure, along with item release, revision, and obsolescence, with streamlined execution through Change Requests and Change Orders

Affected Items and Impact Analysis

Aras Unified Change Management allows the capture of items to be changed and enables users to perform impact checks by leveraging Where Used and relationship browsing.

Supporting Data and Files

Both Change Requests and Change Orders can capture supporting data and related files. This ensures that all business data, technical references, and documentation needed to evaluate or implement a change are maintained in one place for transparency and traceability.

Change Tasks

Change Tasks add value by breaking significant changes into manageable actions, assigning clear ownership to individuals or teams, and providing status visibility within the Change Order. They reduce execution risk by preventing missed steps and creating full traceability of who did what, and when.

Collaboration and Approvals

Aras Unified Change Management enables team collaboration with defined roles, responsibilities, and signoff tracking.

Dynamic Workflow Assignments

Dynamic Workflow Task Assignment automatically routes tasks to the right users or roles based on real-time business logic and item context. Instead of relying on static workflows, assignments adjust dynamically based on an organization’s defined rules.

Centralized Change Control

Aras Unified Change Management manages multiple item types within a single environment, with configurable change-controlled item types.

Flexible Configuration

Workflows, transitions, and validations can be tailored to align with specific business processes. This flexibility reduces manual effort, accelerates change execution, and ensures that change management aligns closely with organizational requirements.
