Change management
The framework's own practice, per MGF v1.5 p.45, of defining triggers for a change review process and categorising the resulting reviews by risk, so that changes to a live agent are caught and scrutinized before they ship rather than after.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified Agentic AI Governance Professional (CAAGP).
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

The general control domain answering whether every change reaching production was authorised, tested and approved by somebody other than the person who made it. Its population is the deployment mechanism, not the change register.
The structured discipline of leading people through a transition so a new way of working actually takes hold, as opposed to simply deploying a tool and hoping behavior follows.

One interview question about it
How do you get a team that fears an AI tool to use it well, and how do you know adoption is real and not reported?
Asked of candidates for adoption and change management. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Human resources and people operations carries it as a claim to back up: Change programs run through HR.
- Project and program management carries it as a claim to back up: Rollout and adoption planning are usually included.
- A business, MBA or technology management degree carries it as a claim to back up: Change management was taught in cases, not yet led.
