Which of the following is the CORRECT order for Change Enablement activities?

The logical Change Enablement sequence is 2, 4, 1, 3, 5, 7, 6.

A change must first be logged and registered so that it is formally recorded and traceable. It is then assessed and evaluated to establish factors such as expected value, risk, impact, feasibility, dependencies, and appropriate scheduling. Once sufficient information exists, the change can receive the required authorisation.

Following authorisation, relevant coordination and communication ensure that affected teams and stakeholders understand the plan, responsibilities, schedule, and implications. The change can then be implemented under the agreed controls. After implementation, its success and objectives should be reviewed to determine whether the intended results were achieved and whether unexpected outcomes occurred. Only after the appropriate review and completion activities should the change request be formally closed.

The alternative sequences authorise changes before appropriate assessment, close them before reviewing their results, or otherwise place activities in an illogical governance order. SDA v9 is aligned with modern service-management practices and requires analysts to understand how processes, procedures and ITSM practices contribute to controlled service delivery.
