Make a decision about what work products are to be used and how they are to be used. In addition to
identifying what work products are to be used, it is also important to also tailor each work product to be used to fit
the needs of the project.
The table below specifies which Configuration and Change Management work products are recommended and which are
considered optional (i.e., may only be used in certain cases). For additional tailoring considerations, see the
tailoring section of the work product description page.
