Information on Deviation

Sometimes, for a number of reasons, it is not desirable to modify the configuration item even though it does not meet one or more requirements. In those cases a formal written authorisation, called a deviation, is issued to allow a configuration item to depart from approved configuration management documentation. The difference between a deviation and an engnieering change proposal is that the deviation does not require amendment of the documentation associated with the configuration item, whereas the engineering change proposal would.
