[OA.TI.5] Design adaptive approval workflows without compromising safety

Category: FOUNDATIONAL

Establish approval processes and guidelines that prioritize speed, safety, and agility. These processes should account for factors such as risk assessment, impact analysis, and stakeholder engagement, while also allowing for feedback and improvement. Use automation and tools to support these processes, rather than requiring complex, human-driven collaboration between teams.

Use data and APIs from version control systems, deployment pipelines, and release management tools to support automated approval processes. These tools can help streamline the approval process, reducing the risk of errors and delays while promoting agility and speed. Make all stakeholders aware of changes, and verify that they can provide input and feedback in a timely manner. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the time it takes to submit, review, approve, and deploy changes. Use these metrics to drive continuous improvement in the change management process.
