  • 1.4 Take action to ensure that stakeholders are aware of their roles
  • 1.5 Identify point at which items are subjected to configuration control with stakeholders
2. Employ appropriate control mechanisms
  • 2.1 Identify and document method for identification and recording of change requests in line with organisational requirements, and ensure this is maintained during development process
  • 2.2 Take action to ensure evaluation criteria and process for approval of change requests are employed according to organisational requirements
  • 2.3 Take action to ensure other management, security and access control criteria are employed according to organisational requirements
  • 2.4 Implement controls to ensure that necessary audit trials and alerts for variations or non-conformance are continuously maintained during development
3. Implement monitoring mechanisms
  • 3.1 Implement controls to ensure mechanisms to identify software status throughout the software development life cycle are continuously maintained
  • 3.2 Document development and maintenance of records and status reports required to show the history of baselines and their links to backups
  • 3.3 Take action to ensure level of detail required in status reports, and identification of target audiences, meet the configuration management procedures, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Australian Standards (AS) and organisational requirements
