Now, you can further streamline your change approval process by specifying the order in which approvals are required.
With Change Manager, you can use predefined change workflows to help automate approvals and avoid unintentional results when making operational changes. Each change request can require one or multiple approvals from individual users or groups. Those approvals can be requested at the same time or can now be split into sequential levels. By sequencing multiple levels of approvals, initial validations or peer reviews are completed before higher level or business-specific approvals are requested, saving time and reducing churn. For example, if a request is submitted to increase compute capacity, you can use sequential approvals to require that the technical review of the script is complete before financial approvals are requested. Change Manager integrates with AWS Single Sign-On to enable you to leverage your existing identity source when specifying approvers.
