Return to Requirements

The Part 5 handoff SHALL identify implementation governance rules.

Part 4, Section 21.15: Part 5 Handoff Requirements.

Part 5 uses implementation artifacts that remain governed by Part 4 even when those artifacts are deployed, exercised, observed, or used for evidence collection.

Including implementation governance rules in the handoff helps Part 5 preserve ownership, versioning, compatibility, change control, generated-artifact governance, repository governance, and handbook governance.

This requirement applies to:

• implementation ownership;
• implementation versioning;
• implementation compatibility;
• implementation change control;
• generated-artifact governance;
• repository governance; and
• Developer Handbook governance.

Verification SHALL confirm that the Part 5 handoff identifies applicable Phase 0 implementation governance rules.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• ownership and review authority are identifiable;
• applicable baseline versions are identifiable;
• compatibility expectations are available;
• change-control expectations are available; and
• Part 5 activities do not bypass Part 4 implementation governance.

This requirement carries the Part 4 Implementation Governance Model into the Part 5 handoff.
