  1. If you want to configure ServiceNow, BMC Remedyforce, Freshworks Freshservice, or Jira ITSM then you can use out of box change management systems, otherwise you need to define Custom Change Management System.

  2. Configure Change Management System Instance, which allows for configurations like server, credentials, etc. to interact with specific change management system.

  3. If you want to deploy projects individually with change management integration,

    1. Create external approval requirement on necessary folder, configurations will be inherited by all projects under this folder and it’s sub-folders. See Change Management Approvals on Folders.

    2. Now you are ready to submit deployment for project. See how to submit executions with change tickets.

  4. Otherwise, you can also configure change management at Release level and use External Approval Gate in specific stage of pipeline. When using pipelines, the CMS configuration defined on folders is ignored, since the configuration from the External Approval Gates themselves is used .  See Creating/Editing a Pipeline Version for details regarding the External Approval Gate.
