Purpose & Responsibilities
The HR & Finance Applications Change Control provides ongoing coordination and review of changes to applications as needed to ensure that Workday and closely integrated applications remain stable and well designed.

- Ensure the stability and integrity of the Workday production environment.
- Ensure that changes in all Workday environments, as well as upstream systems that impact Workday, are tracked, reviewed, and tested as needed.
- Ensure the successful operation of an ongoing release management process for Workday, including:
- Ensure planning of releases and oversee the release management cycle.

Rather than a single governance committee, this level of governance includes roles that may participate in multiple kinds of meetings as needed. The IT and business units represented in this governance model are expected to work together to define the roles and responsibilities needed to:
- Propose, assess, and define requirements for changes
- Approve work in pre-production environments
- Prototype and test changes in pre-production environments
- Approve changes to production environments
- Make predefined changes independently without prior approval
Meetings
The HR & Finance Applications Change Control is expected to include at least a change control group that meets weekly, with more frequent meetings as needed. During periods of high activity, multiple forums for change control may be needed for different functional areas.
