Versioning Strategy¶
Why This Exists¶
The Algosure Blueprint will evolve. Versioning ensures that changes are intentional, traceable, and understandable.
Owner¶
The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.
Business Value¶
Versioning reduces operational confusion, supports governance, and allows stakeholders to distinguish current standards from draft or historical material.
Version Format¶
Use semantic versioning where practical:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
| Segment | Meaning |
|---|---|
MAJOR |
Structural Blueprint changes or governance model changes. |
MINOR |
New approved sections, standards, or enterprise capabilities. |
PATCH |
Corrections, clarifications, and maintenance updates. |
Document Version¶
The version field in document metadata identifies the Blueprint version the document belongs to.
Change Categories¶
Use these categories in release notes and changelogs:
- Added
- Changed
- Deprecated
- Removed
- Fixed
- Security
Release Rule¶
No document becomes authoritative solely because it is committed. A document must have status: active and an approved review path to become authoritative.
