Making changes is a core part of a CI engineer's job function. How do you make sure that the changes you implement don't cause adverse effects on quality or other KPIs?

CI engineers are expected to be change agents and challenge the status quo. While change is necessary for success, it can carry drastic risks if not managed properly. There are departments in most organizations whose primary function is ensuring that abnormalities are minimized (i.e., a Quality Control department). While there is some expected healthy conflict between departments who want to minimize disruptions and a CI engineer whose primary function is a disruptor, there is definitely a right and wrong way to make changes. The candidate must let the interviewer know that they will be part of the team and adhere to the organization's change management policy while carrying out their job.
