Process Deviation Procedure

Process Deviation Process Flow

The process deviation approval steps as follows:

(TL = Team Leader, PM = Project Manager, RM = VPM Release Manager)

• (Note: A few smaller projects may not have a formal Release Manager. In that case, the lead Project Manager serves in that role.)

1. Identify, assess need for process deviation (TL, PM, etc.)
2. Fill out process deviation template to document request (TL, PM, etc.)
3. Submit deviation request to VPM Release Manager (TL, PM, etc.)
4. Review deviation request (RM)
5. Approve process deviation (RM)
6. Notify deviation requestor and appropriate process owner and affected project team members (RM)
7. Store approved deviation (RM)
8. Track deviation (RM)
