Topic: Software configuration management



  
 HTML Version of CM GB
Software configuration management is the process whose objective is the identification of the configuration of software at discrete points in time and the systematic control of changes to the identified configuration for the purpose of maintaining software integrity and traceability throughout the software life cycle.
During the software concept and initiation phase, the software concept is developed and the feasibility of building the software system is evaluated.
Plans for software configuration management and the structure and size of the organization needed to implement it should be influenced by the complexity of the software to be developed, the size of the project, and on the specific responsibilities assigned to the SCM organization.

 Demystifying Software Configuration Management - May 1995
Software managers may or may not know how much it is going to cost to fix a software problem; sometimes even the software engineers don't know, but their estimates are likely to be closer than the manager's estimate.
You are the manager of a software development project.
In fact, the contractual requirements for software configuration management sometimes lead to the development of an impractical SCM process that alienates software developers, impedes progress, and is expensive to run.

 How You Can Benefit from Software Configuration Management
Software configuration management (SCM) is the organization of the components of a software system so that they fit together in a working order, never out of synch with each other.
Software project managers pay attention to the planning and execution of configuration management, an integral task, because it facilitates the ability to communicate status of documents and code as well as changes that have been made to them.
The Software Engineering Institute says that it is necessary to establish and maintain the integrity of the products of the software project throughout the software life cycle.
