There are many daily changes in the IT field, and how to reduce the impact of changes on production is a practical problem we need to face. Saving Changes...
A couple of key practices are to engage the affected stakeholders as early as possible so they are aware of what changes are coming, and to have a change calendar so that disparate teams can ensure they aren't creating a perfect storm of changes for a specific stakeholder group.
It can also help to have scheduled (e.g. monthly, quarterly) changes rather than ad hoc ones. That creates predictability and can help affected stakeholders prepare.

Standardization is a critical success factor to enhance success rate. Change in production is not a practical problem to solve if you have a defined process. You can find this type of things inside Configuration Management discipline. My recommendation is going to IEEE standards. That´s all you need. My basement background was originally in software engineering then it was my duty to face this and other related things from long time. All related to today called DevSecOps it is outside there, inside IEEE standards for example, for long time ago. Saving Changes...
"Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought--particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things."
