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
- confidence that the current version of any configuration item is known; and
- documented traceability between versions of each configuration item.
