Anywhere I worked, small and large companies, I made sure a major change started as soon as the weekend began (long weekends preferred) and that all relevant departments, including operations, were on standby. If any executive had an issues with the timeline, they could kiss my @ss. I point out how much money in productivity, not to mention data loss, is possible if that deployment goes down hill and engineers/techs are under so much pressure that they will make mistakes. They end up seeing the light...lol
