Has anyone some experience when it comes to change & release management and legal, compliance or audit requirements (country dependent)?

Can you share some of your legal (country dependent), compliance or audit requirements?

We already have a very basic directive from legal and compliance to follow but I am curious what other people do or don’t do.

By the way my goal is to have the leanest/simplest change & release process one can think of but still have an audit trail. Like create an issue tracking item (request of change) with required fields, status, workflow and linked work orders including linked stories. I already have it all planned out but I would like your input for comparison/improvements.

Discussion examples: what to do when the location of the data changes, shall we have sign-offs or not, do we need work orders, do we need linked stories, which fields are important/required etc.

What I have tried:

I have created all the diagrams and objects for it but would like to simplify or improve it in any way possible.

We already have a very basic directive from legal (lawyer) and compliance to follow but I am curious what other people do or don’t do.

You should consult a proper legal source in your home country, or your company's compliance officer.

Thank you for your response. We are aware that we had to build the change & release management process regarding to our internal directive 4000.1 given to us by our compliance team.
I was just wondering whether other people have experience in this and what they had to implement. This is all out of curiosity to what other people have implemented to share experiences and knowledge hence the question country dependent.

As Richard said, you need to consult a lawyer. I would not trust any legal advice that you find on this site.

In that case, one of the discussion forums would be more appropriate to post this. This is the Quick Answers section so the quick answer is, consult a lawyer. ;)

pkaelin 17-May-21 8:53am

In that case your answer is spot on :)
Thanks ill post the improved question in the discussion form

Just make it clear you are looking for a general discussion on the topic and if anyone has any experience in it. Otherwise, you'll get a lot of people telling you to consult a lawyer. Sometimes people on this site have a hard time having a discussion in the discussions section.

It doesn't matter what forum this is posted in, the answer will be the same.

Consult lawyers.

SeanChupas 17-May-21 12:02pm

User wants to hear experience from other people that have gone through the process. That's completely valid.

Dave Kreskowiak 17-May-21 12:03pm

What WAS valid then may not be valid TODAY. That's why the lawyers are ALWAYS the correct answer to such questions.

SeanChupas 17-May-21 12:06pm

Again, OP is not looking for an answer but rather a discussion.

I'm not sure why that's hard for some people to grasp.

Dave Kreskowiak 17-May-21 12:08pm

I know what he's looking for. The likelihood of that discussion happening at all is exceedingly low.

The likelihood of a discussion with lawyers on the subject is much, much higher.
