Slowing Change This Holiday Season

We have been communicating the IS winter change freeze on the daily ops calls and via the CAB. To ensure the stability of the IT environment IS Change Management has scheduled a “Change Slowdown,” not a solid freeze, this winter holiday season to minimize the number of non-critical, non-standard change activities that occur.

Change Slowdown for Winter Holidays

12:01 a.m. (PT), Dec. 17, 2018 through 11:59 p.m. (PT), Jan. 4, 2019

Guidelines

  • In Scope: All normal changes
  • Out of Scope: Standard changes to support IT operation stability and Emergency changes with Stakeholder and at least 1 VP approval to address urgent issues.
  • The following Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings will be cancelled during this slowdown period:
    • December 21
    • December 24
    • December 26
    • December 31
