How to Build a MOP and Change Management Application Without Stitching Together a Stack
Blog post from Harper
Network change procedures often span multiple vendors, owners, documents, approvals, scripts, and rollback plans, creating coordination challenges when these resources become outdated or disconnected. The text presents a Method of Procedure application built on Harper as a way to centralize procedure storage, dependency context, approvals, staged execution, validation, recovery, and audit records while integrating with existing ticketing, inventory, and automation systems. It describes a telecom customer that developed a prototype in three days using AI coding tools after a major outage, illustrating an iterative approach that begins with a specific operational workflow. Compared with assembling separate databases, caches, messaging systems, search tools, and APIs, Harper is positioned as a unified runtime that reduces infrastructure integration work and supports searchable procedure data through semantic, text, and structured retrieval. Teams are encouraged to begin with one frequent, well-defined change type, validate workflows through simulated execution and limited pilots, track operational outcomes, and expand reusable patterns over time.
