An information technology services management product is provided with a change management component that identifies conflicts based on a wide range of information. When a change on a configuration item is scheduled, the change management component identifies, for example, affected business applications, affected service level agreements, resource availability, change schedule, workflow, resource dependencies, and the like. The change management component warns the user if a conflict is found. The user does not have to consult multiple sources of information and make a manual determination concerning conflicts. The change management component may also suggest a best time to schedule a change request based on the information available. The change management component provides a constrained interface such that the user cannot schedule a change request that violates any of the above requirements. The change management component also applies these requirements when changing an already scheduled change request.
