Content
Life-cycle management has multiple aspects. If you start making changes, then you may want to capture what you currently have (and what currently works). On the other hand, you would rather prevent errors as opposed to react to issues. Finally, if changes have to take place, then you want those to be least impactful on your implementation environment. The materials below cover all of those aspects of life cycle management.
