Question

A mid-sized software company frequently deploys minor configuration updates to a well-understood internal application. These updates follow a clearly documented, repeatable procedure and have an established, low risk profile with a track record of successful deployments. The change enablement team wants to avoid requiring separate assessment and authorization for each of these routine updates while still ensuring they are properly controlled. Which approach best fits this situation?

Accepted Answer

Treat each update as a standard change using a pre-authorized change model triggered when the update is initiated

Answer

Treat each update as a normal change so the change authority can individually assess and schedule every deployment

Answer

Treat each update as an emergency change to expedite approval and reduce required testing

Answer

Handle each update through incident management since deployments occasionally cause service disruption
