You have submitted a change request for a firmware upgrade on a core switch. Business leadership has approved the maintenance to occur after normal business hours. Which timing detail must be included in the change record so that all stakeholders know exactly when the network will be unavailable?
The most critical scheduling detail is the exact start date and time of the change. Without this, other stakeholders cannot coordinate downtime, schedule on-call staff, or prepare contingency plans. While the expected duration, maintenance window, and post-implementation review date are useful, they all rely on knowing exactly when the change begins.
