Changes are not documented or recorded. Changes are not tested prior to being implemented on production systems. Configuration changes are approved through an ad-hoc process. The changes are not tested prior to being implemented on production systems. Changes are made by authorized personnel. Those changes are sometimes. documented but not consistently. Changes are made to test systems before production systems. Changes are submitted to a formal change control board and reviewed for approval. Once changes are approved, they are implemented in a test environment prior to a production environment. Those changes are documented and retained. Enterprise changes are implemented iteratively.
