Hey there! Ceci here.

Configuration governance either exists or it doesn’t. And unfortunately, you usually find out which camp you’re in right after configuring a solution that felt completely under control.

Here’s a scenario for you:

You just finished a complex config change in Workday 💪

You were totally in the zone.

…trying different ideas

…reworking prior config

…and BOOM 💥

Everything locked into place (such a good feeling, btw).

A week later someone says, Hey, we're seeing an issue. Can you take a look?

You pause. What could have gone wrong?

You remember most of the build — a condition rule here, a calc field there, here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak tweak 🦆 But you’re not 100%.

If this at all sounds familiar, keep reading becauuuse…

This issue is all about config governance and a handy Workday report called the Configuration Change Tracker that keeps you from flying blind 🦇

Let’s get into it.
