What should be included in a change record?

• A. Change description only
• B. Documentation of the update, approvals, testing, rollback plan
• C. The author name only
• D. No details

Answer: (B)

In change management, a change record should capture the full lifecycle of what happened, who approved it, how it was implemented, how it was tested, and how to undo it if needed. The strongest option includes all of these elements: a clear change description, documentation of the update, approvals, testing, and a rollback plan. This combination ensures traceability, accountability, risk management, and a clear path for revert if the change causes issues. A change description alone misses governance and verification; an author name alone lacks the details of what was done and who signed off or tested it; and no details provide no usable record at all.
