Viewing scheduled tasks
At any time during the Change process, you can view the implementation tasks that have been scheduled for a change. You can also view scheduled tasks for a release. While a change or release is in progress, viewing scheduled tasks before you create a new task helps you avoid conflicts between the new task and the tasks that are already scheduled.
