Using Change for Release Mgmt,

2011-11-29 Thread Richard Parker
ITSM 7.0.1
ARS 7.1

Have been tasked with using change mgmt to track monthly releases. The 7.0
version of ITSM does not have the Release Mgmt. module. (I think that comes
with 7.5 and above).

One thought is to create a master change record to track the entire release
and create child change records for each tool being enhanced. Each tool
owner could then create tasks for each enhancement or bug fix and those
could be assigned out to the indivudal developers.


Looking for how others might approach this solution.

Thank you

Rich

 Having worked (for almost two and half years) in the group which has this
 opening, I can tell you it's not the job that isn't real. However, it is a
 moot point as this position was recently filled with someone who was up
 front and honest about their development and project experience.

Re: Dropping BMC Support

Thank you for all of you resonses. Great information to help with my
decision.

 ** Concerning the Third party support is now totally dependent on BMC to
 say yes or no on that one.. and Last I heard was since Jul of last year,

 I wonder if anyone knows of a case dispelling this information?

 ** There are many issues to consider:

 As Patrick points out, you will lose tech support, upgrades, patches, and
 replacement keys.

 As David points out, there are some gotcha's with selectively removing
 support.  For example, anything you drop from support will require a purge
 form.  (Yes, BMC/Remedy actually expects you to stop using any product not
 under support.  We've tried for years to convince them their own license
 agreement says *perpetual* use, not only under maintenance use, but to
 no avail.)  Also, similar products cannot be separated into some on
 maintenance and some not.  (For example, you can either remove all AR User
 licenses from maintenance, or none -- you cannot remove only *some*licenses 
 from maintenance.)  And if you drop support and later decide you
 need it again, then you will be asked to make retroactive payments, with
 list price uplifts, to restore maintenance.  (If the lapse is two years or
 more, you may also be asked to pay an interest surcharge.)  Finally, you
 may find your BMC/Remedy team mildly-to-extremely upset that you want to
 drop maintenance, so plan ahead and allow a few months to finalize a new
 support agreement with an acceptable invoice.

 There are also alternatives, as some resellers and third-parties offer
 BMC/Remedy support services at slightly reduced prices.  Check the
 BMC/Remedy website for more details.
