Masquerading Digitalization

Suppose you have set up Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines (CI/CD) which automatically run unit tests and integration tests against your application each time a change is made to your code in your version control repository. Suppose also that you've painstakingly written some custom scripts to allow an application custodian to pick a snapshot version of the application to be automatically deployed to the production environment. If your organization still fanatically follows a traditional change management process -- the likes that require approvals across multiple stages and require you to fill in numerous forms -- the value proposition of the continuous property made available by the CI/CD pipelines will be diminished.
