Short Narrative/Description:

How Configuration Management works with Quality to ensure Mission Success

Configuration Management is comprised of the following five activities:

  • Configuration management planning: A configuration management plan describes any project specific procedures and the extent of their application
  • Configuration identification: Involves breaking down the project and creating a referencing system for each item.
  • Configuration control: Ensures that all changes to configuration items are controlled. Configuration control of specifications and test plans is vital for quality control to be effective.
  • Configuration status accounting: Provides records and reports that relate to a deliverable and its configuration information.
  • Configuration verification audit: Determines whether a deliverable conforms to its requirements and configuration information
The key output of a well-controlled configuration management process is:
  • confidence that the current version of any configuration item is known; and
  • documented traceability between versions of each configuration item.
