Cevap

The correct chronological order of the change management steps is: (1) Perform a comprehensive risk analysis to evaluate potential business impact and service dependencies -> (2) Formulate a detailed implementation procedure accompanied by a verified backout strategy -> (3) Submit the change request to the Change Advisory Board (CAB) for review and authorization -> (4) Issue an advance maintenance window notification to affected end users and business units -> (5) Conduct post-implementation testing to confirm array performance and close the change ticket.
Standard enterprise change management follows a strict progression: initial risk analysis and scope definition, development of technical deployment and rollback plans, formal review and authorization by the Change Advisory Board (CAB), user/stakeholder notification of the scheduled maintenance window, and post-implementation testing prior to ticket closure.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define scope and conduct risk assessment.
Potential downtime and affected infrastructure dependencies identified.
Evaluating potential impact is required before creating technical deployment and recovery plans.
2
Draft implementation details and backout procedures.
Complete change proposal documentation created.
CAB reviewers require step-by-step installation instructions and rollback plans to evaluate the request.
3
Present proposal to the Change Advisory Board (CAB).
Formal authorization granted.
Organizational governance requires CAB approval before scheduling maintenance windows or executing system modifications.
4
Distribute maintenance window notices.
Impacted users informed of expected downtime.
User notification must happen after authorization is secured so accurate window details are communicated.
5
Execute post-implementation testing and record documentation.
Verified system functionality and closed ticket.
Final validation ensures system stability before the change management process is formally completed.
