Use our template to evaluate and build your DevOps change management practice.

Why Confluence?
How to

Use the strategic plan template in Confluence

Confluence transforms strategic planning from a once-a-year exercise into an ongoing collaborative process. Teams can work together in real-time to develop, refine, and execute their strategic plans without the back-and-forth of email chains or version control issues.

Our template library includes pre-built strategic planning templates that incorporate best practices from successful organizations. These templates provide the structure you need while staying flexible enough to adapt to your specific requirements, allowing you to customize sections and create reusable frameworks for future planning cycles.

Confluence easily integrates with other work management tools, making it invaluable for strategic planning. With Confluence, your strategic plan becomes a living document that connects directly to project execution, progress tracking, and decision-making processes. Team members can reference the strategic plan during brainstorming sessions, link specific initiatives to daily tasks, and maintain alignment between high-level strategy and tactical execution.

How to use the DevOps change management template

Step 1. Plan for DevOps data migrations

The larger your company becomes, the more data you have to store and manage. Before you make major changes to your infrastructure, use our template to understand how you’re currently managing data migrations and how you can improve. As you work through the template, add links to relevant documents and loop in subject matter experts who can help you develop your data migration strategy.

Step 2. Strive for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD)

DevOps organizations practicing continuous integration and delivery succeed because they’re able to spot integration issues efficiently and release changes to customers quickly. Share the template with your engineering team to find out which deployments and tests are currently automated. Then use our template to review your system architecture and brainstorm opportunities to improve your CI/CD performance.

Step 3. Evaluate your change management performance

Keep inspiring your team by using our template to anticipate potential risks and identify opportunities to improve processes. As you develop your change management practice, your engineering and operations teams will become more empowered to make fast and effective infrastructure changes.
