Exceptions and waivers
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
allow deviations from standards in a controlled way.
Planned topics
- Standards need an exit: sometimes a deviation is correct for a case.
- An exception records what is deviating, why, the risk, the compensating control, an owner, and an expiry date.
- Expiry forces a revisit: renew, fix, or update the standard.
- Review the list of exceptions regularly; patterns suggest the standard itself is wrong.
