I have question about words "Reduction of back-out activities". What's
the meaning of "back-out"?

"Ibrahim F Burhan" <ibrahim.f.burhan@gmail.com>:

1. [v] make a retreat from an earlier commitment or activity; "We'll
have to crawfish out from meeting with him"; "He backed out of his earlier
promise"; "The aggressive investment company pulled in its horns"
2. [v] move out of a space backwards; "He backed out of the driveway"

Synonyms: back away, crawfish, crawfish out, pull back, pull in one's horns,
retreat, withdraw

Ahmad Syamil:

I would like to understand the context of "Reduction of back-out activities," and found out the following although it may not be the context you were looking for:

Change Management

A change is "an event that results in a new status of one or more configuration items (CI's)"
The goal of Change Management is to ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient handling of all Changes, in order to minimize the impact of Change-related incidents and to improve day-to-day operations.

The main aims of Change Management are:

- Minimal disruption of services
- Reduction in back-out activities
- Economic utilization of resources involved in the change

Here is the answer from a fellow professor in information technology:

"Back-out activities" referred to canceled orders or canceled events that were expected to be processed or occur.

Example: Those people who make reservations for hotels, motels, airline seats may cancel or "back-out" of these items thus causing the manager of these operations to perform alternative measures to not loose money; such as over-book airlines, sell hotel rooms at reduced rates to agencies such as www.lastminute.com

An answer from another fellow professor in information technology:

In my experience, "Back out activities" are the events that must occur when there is a major change in decision, plans, activities, etc. In other words, the cost of changing your mind and undoing what you have done and heading down a different path.

Another answer from my fellow director of an information technology company:

The term "back-out" is used whenever programming code is written that implements actions or data into a routine automatically and it did not work or there was something wrong in the action/data and it had to be "backed-out" of the system in a manner where nothing else was impacted. In other words, we need to "back-out" of what we just got into and get back to the state of affairs we had before doing what we did. This is a change management term. Typically when code is written and has been through detailed QA testing, there is less of a chance that something will have to be backed-out later, but as you and I know, that is not always the case and "back-out activities" need to be implemented and monitored across all systems impacted. It can be time consuming and very costly to have to do back-outs.
