Document exception request process
Exception request template has proved to be useful.
Document how this template is to be used.
Exception request needs to be filled in by the person requesting the exception, not Release Manager. Release manager has the authority of refusing the request for this release cycle. Release manager should ask for clarification if the request is not clear.
Exception request should be closed once the release in which the request is included is deployed to GitLab.com
