[All ITIL-4-Foundation Questions]

Which of the following statements about change authorization is CORRECT?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The change enablement practice maximizes the number of successful service and product changes by ensuring that risks have been properly assessed, authorized, and managed within a schedule1.Change authorization is the activity of verifying that a proposed change is desirable, viable, and achievable before committing to its implementation2.The change type (standard, normal, or emergency) and model (a predefined approach for handling a specific type of change) is the basis for assigning the change authority (the role that can authorize a change)2. The other statements are incorrect because:

A standard change is a low-risk, pre-authorized change that follows an agreed procedure and does not require authorization at the point of implementation2.

An emergency change is a high-priority change that must be implemented as soon as possible to resolve an incident or implement a security patch2.An emergency change must be authorized by an emergency change authority (ECA), which is usually a subset of the normal change authority (CAB)2.

Ensuring that changes are authorized before their deployment is done by the change enabler (the role that coordinates all aspects of a change)2.Reference:ITIL Foundation - ITIL 4 Edition, page 16;ITIL 4 -- A Pocket Guide, page 39;ITIL 4 Practice Guide: Change Enablement, page 7.

I agree with Shanda, D) makes more sense because change authority is responsible for authorizing changes

Haha, imagine the chaos if the technician could just approve their own emergency changes. That's a recipe for disaster!

I'm not sure about the other options, but I know the technician can't authorize their own emergency changes. That's just common sense!

Option C seems the most logical to me. The change type and model should be the basis for assigning the change authority.

I see your point, but I think option A is also necessary. Assigning a change authority for standard changes helps with accountability.
