This activity takes an approved change and coordinates its implementation. If the approved change involved creating or updating a solution, then the solution components must first be built and supplied by Solution Realization.

Approved changes are made available primarily through Release Management, but some changes are implemented through assignment by the Change Manager (within Change Management). This determination is made by Change Management policies and the appropriate change model.

Change Management monitors the actual deployment of the change, as carried out by Deployment Management.
