Why each option

Change management procedures require scheduling a maintenance window after defining the scope of work and before executing system changes to ensure proper coordination and stakeholder notification.

APerform the system updates

Performing system updates before scheduling a maintenance window skips critical change management approval and coordination steps.

BDetermine MTTR

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is a performance metric used to measure repair efficiency after incidents, not a procedural step in planning a proactive change.

CRequest an impact analysis report

Requesting an impact analysis report is a step that occurs earlier in the change process, prior to or during scope definition, not after the steps have already been defined.

DSchedule time to perform updatesCorrect

After documenting the steps and scope of a change, the proper change management process requires scheduling a maintenance window so that stakeholders are informed and the work is performed during an approved, low-impact time. Performing updates during the middle of the work day without a scheduled window violates change management best practices and risks unplanned disruption. Scheduling ensures the change is authorized and coordinated before execution.
