Re: Change Management
One of the guys in the networking department where I work explained it thus: Change management provides me with no immediate advantage in having to fill out the request forms, etc, but it provides me with plenty of benefits when others do it. And vice-versa.
Knowing what was changed and when, and having easy ways of rolling back (e.g. snapshots of file systems and configs, etc) is a huge advantage if what you do really matters.
