Abstract
A system and method for automatically detecting, reporting, and tracking conflicts in a change management system is provided. In particular, the system and method described herein may be used to identify potential conflicts associated with resources and schedules involved in a proposed change to an information technology infrastructure. A conflict analysis engine may analyze a change order that includes planned changes to an information technology infrastructure to identify potential conflicts associated with the change order that includes the planned changes to the information technology infrastructure. The potential conflicts may then be added to a conflicts list for the change order and a workflow may be created to manage resolving the potential conflicts. Thus, in response to resolving the potential conflicts, the planned changes may be deployed within the information technology infrastructure.
