1. A method, implemented by a processor coupled to a memory, comprising:
determining a change needed to a selected remote system from a plurality of remote systems, the change managed at a change management system that manages changes to the plurality of remote systems;
identifying a change management time window when the change is scheduled to be performed at the selected remote system;
sending a monitoring request to the selected remote system, wherein the monitoring request causes the selected remote system to run a monitoring process;
receiving, from the selected remote system, an activity notification that was identified by the monitoring process; and
in response to the activity notification matching the change needed, canceling, at the change management system, the change scheduled at the selected remote system, wherein the monitoring process is adapted to deactivate when one or more activities, including an activity that matches the change needed, have matched each of one or more changes needed, including the change needed.
