AI change log for operations
An AI change log for operations records who changed a prompt, template, or routing rule, when, and why. Without it you cannot explain a quality drop or roll back safely.
Software teams would never ship without a commit history. Office AI often ships as “I tweaked the prompt.” That is how silent failures start.
What to log
Date, owner, workflow name, version id, change summary, link to the previous version, and expected KPI impact. Five minutes per change. Skip vanity essays.
Where it lives
Same place as SOPs: a short table in Notion, Confluence, or a dated folder. Not only in the vendor’s chat history. Vendor UIs are not your archive.
Tie to review and rollback
When reopen rates jump, read the change log first. Roll back to the last known-good version. This is the operational twin of versioning your prompt workflow like an SOP.
Cadence
Review the log in the weekly ops meeting for five minutes. Kill zombie experiments that never got an entry. Celebrate boring stability.
Done looks like
Any supervisor can answer “what changed last Tuesday” without pinging the original author on holiday.
