Not in this case. It's a one-off very custom-built rover, the first of its name. There's already all kinds of processes established, but no one can foresee everything. Yes, they probably fixed the process after that, but remember that it was their first time.
PS: Also, more rules and better processes are not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes there are just too much red tape and bureaucracy that makes already super-slow NASA even slower. In those first-of-its-kind missions sometimes you need to risk and depend on people, not processes.
