A company plans to replace its core network switches, a change that will affect several production VLANs. During the risk analysis phase of the change-management process, which of the following actions should the change advisory board take to quantify the risks associated with this change?
Draft a detailed rollback procedure to restore the previous configuration if the change fails
Document the potential impact and likelihood for each affected system
Approve end-user communications announcing the scheduled maintenance window
Allocate budget for ordering the replacement switching hardware
Risk analysis focuses on estimating both the likelihood and the impact of potential failures. By documenting the potential impact and likelihood for each affected system, the team can assign a risk rating to every scenario, prioritize resources, and decide on mitigation measures. Drafting a rollback plan addresses risk mitigation-not assessment. Approving end-user communications and allocating budget are important tasks but occur in other parts of the change process, not in the analytical step that determines risk levels.
