I am developing a project using a VCS methodology that applies VCS Version 3 requirements – should the project be developed in accordance with VCS Version 3 or can it continue to use VCS 2007.1 in accordance with the grace period set out for projects?

Where projects are using a VCS methodology, they must use the version of the methodology approved by the VCS. However, where approved VCS methodologies apply or reference VCS Version 3 requirements, projects may apply a methodology deviation to use VCS 2007.1 requirements if the project is validated on or before 8 September 2011.
