% of changes recorded 'after the fact'

Definition

On occasion Changes are raised 'after the fact', or after the application of a workaround to resolve an incident. Sometimes it is a necessity to address an issue as it happens with a commitment to follow up with formal documentation. This measure is an interesting perspective on what should be a rare or exceptional event and adherence to Change policies.
