A cloud administrator is preparing to migrate an enterprise on-premises file server to a cloud-based storage infrastructure. To ensure minimal disruption to business operations and adhere to organizational policy, the administrator must follow formal change management procedures. In what sequence should the administrator execute the following steps of the change management workflow?
- 1Document the purpose, scope, and technical details of the cloud migration proposal.
- 2Perform a formal risk assessment to evaluate business impact and potential service downtime.
- 3Develop the step-by-step implementation plan alongside a detailed rollback strategy.
- 4Submit the completed change request package to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for approval.
- 5Perform the migration during the maintenance window, conduct post-implementation testing, and update documentation.
Answer
The correct sequence begins with defining the purpose and scope, followed by conducting a risk assessment, creating implementation and rollback plans, obtaining CAB approval, and finally executing the change with post-implementation testing and documentation.
Standard CompTIA A+ change management workflow requires establishing scope/purpose first, evaluating risk second, building implementation/rollback plans third, securing CAB authorization fourth, and completing execution, post-testing, and documentation fifth.
