4-2Operational ProceduresEasy

A DevOps administrator configures a branch policy that blocks any merge into the main branch until a minimum number of designated reviewers approve the pull request. Which change management concept does this policy implement?

A request form documenting the purpose and scope of the changeA request form captures details of the change, it does not itself block the merge.
A rollback plan that reverts the branch if the merge failsA rollback plan addresses recovery after a change fails, not gaining permission to proceed.
Sandbox testing of the branch changes in an isolated environmentSandbox testing verifies the change works in isolation, it does not gate approval to merge.
Formal approval from a change board before the change is mergedCorrect · your answerCorrect: gating implementation on reviewer approval is the mechanism of change board approval.
A documented business process describing how merges normally occurA documented business process describes the general procedure, but the specific reviewer gate is the approval step itself.

Correct.

Concept

Change management requires that proposed changes receive sign off from designated approvers before they are implemented.

Why D

Blocking a merge until required reviewers approve the pull request is the technical equivalent of requiring a change board to approve a change before it goes live.
