Change Management

Change window

Avoid time windows that are potentially sensitive (night/weekend/holidays) for making changes to critical resources.

Summary

Consider when colleagues will be around to respond to outages. Avoid changes to critical resources when they won't be. Many companies avoid changes around nights/weekends/holidays, but the specific times depend on the nature of the business.
