Planual rules regarding ALM Architecture
6.03-01 Don't take the model out of deployed mode
Once ALM has been initiated, and Deployed mode is turned on, the Production model should never be taken out of Deployed mode.
exception
| 6.03-01a Development Model creation | Used when copying a Production model to create the initial ALM environment, or when re-creating the DEV model as part of a “reset”. |
| 6.03-01b There are no other exceptions! | It's not worth it. ALM brings control, but there are rules, and Deployed mode is the key rule. |

6.03-02 Use deployed in devlopment models for additional security
Setting deployed mode for devlopment models is OK and can prevent inadvertent structural changes being made outside of normal development cycles.
6.03-03 Keep Test models in Deployed mode
Test models should be treated as Production models. This gives a true representation of testing and also prevents inadvertent synchronization from Test to Prod.
