CAD Standard – Roles, Responsibilities and Change Management

When you are writing the standard, define what the development teams do and their areas of oversight.  We discussed who they are here [1], and what they do here [2].  but you need to include something that helps others know who, where and how things are created and refined.

Include who is responsible for maintaining and changing the document. Explain how changes are managed. Define how the standard gets modified.

Example:

The Standard will be maintained and modified by the same team that created it. The CAD Standards Committee will become the clearinghouse for any follow-on issues. This document is seen as a living document that may change from time to time. As such, XYZ will continue to develop and modify this document.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Please contact the CAD Standards Committee.

The modification process includes the following:

• A proposed change is submitted by or to the CAD Standard Committee
• It is reviewed for clarity and discussed.
• The CAD Standard Committee decides if it is a valid proposal or offers clarification of the Standard or a work around
• Upon approval it is added to the Standard and scheduled for full publication and adoption.
