What is typically the risk level associated with a Standard change?

The risk level associated with a Standard change is typically low. This classification is due to the fact that Standard changes are routine, pre-authorized changes that follow established procedures and can be implemented without the need for extensive reviews or approvals. Since these changes are regular and predictable, there is generally a well-defined process in place to ensure they can be executed smoothly and safely.

Standard changes are specifically designed to minimize the risk involved, which is why they are pre-approved. Examples of Standard changes might include routine software updates or applying security patches that have proven successful in the past. This low-risk status allows organizations to manage their change processes more efficiently, as they do not bog down the change management system with unnecessary approvals for changes that are already known to be safe and beneficial.

The other options reflect various levels of risk associated with changes that require different management approaches. However, those do not apply to Standard changes, making the identification of their low-risk status essential for effective IT Service Management.
