We are changing a process in our company and I'd like to convey the message below to my clients. "We are trying our best to change this process without affecting dependent processes" . Is there a phrase or idiom I can use here to say that we are doing this process change with lowest impact to other processes?

1I think you mean 'affecting dependent processes'. 'To affect' means to 'have influence on' or 'to change', 'to effect' means 'to cause to happen' or 'to carry out'. Don't worry, it's a common error.– BoldBenNov 23, 2020 at 20:50

Thanks i edited my question. But i am still looking for a good phrase or expression to convey my intent in the original question.– anushaNov 23, 2020 at 21:59

Minimal, minimize, limit. The “below message” strikes an off-note.– XanneNov 23, 2020 at 22:04

1No magic phrase, but: You're trying to minimize/reduce/mitigate side effects / knock-on effects / unintended consequences– JeffSaholNov 24, 2020 at 10:39

You don't need any fancy language.
Borrowing from two of your sentences I suggest
We are doing our best to make sure this change has the least possible impact on other processes.
- We are looking for / believe we have come up with a magic bullet.
magic bullet [compound] noun
something that cures or remedies without causing harmful side effects:
- So far there is no magic bullet for economic woes.
