AllCode utilizes a comprehensive Change Management framework to guide the delivery of DevOps projects. This framework addresses changes at the organizational, program, and individual levels, ensuring that various stakeholder teams are aligned, trained, and empowered, thereby accelerating business adoption.

We collaborate with customers to develop a Change Management process during the development lifecycle, based on an assessment of the customer’s internal organization. This process helps identify the scope of change initiatives and designates a single-threaded owner to align cross-functional resources and champion the change objectives. This approach ultimately enhances organizational efficiency in DevOps projects.

Additionally, our methodology includes recommending organizational changes and creating plans for various departments such as Legal, Finance, HR, and Sales. We also emphasize the importance of executive sponsorship to ensure successful implementation.
