Hello Christine,
From your review comments I understand that you are using on-premise Remedy and not Remedy-On-Demand variant. Is this correct? How many environments do you have (e.g. Dev, Test, Pre-prod, Prod etc)? Which modules are you using (e.g. Incident, Problem, Change, Asset and so on)?

One challenge that I observe is if at all an organization is following agile delivery cycle in which there are frequent changes happening to Remedy work-flow/forms etc, then it is tough to keep them in sync over a longer term.

Regards,
Jeevan
