Use, Relationships: An Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) provides the documentation in
which the engineering change is described. It includes change impacts to systems, configuration
items and other associated configuration documentation affected by the proposed change. In
addition, it typically describes how the proposed change will be implemented along with
providing estimated schedules and associated costs.
This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format, content and preparation
instructions for the data product resulting from the work task specified in the contract. This DID
is used in conjunction with a Notice of Revision (NOR) (DI-CMAN-80642B). A requirement
