Configuration Management?
Wikipedia describes Configuration Management (CM) as: "The control and adaptation of the evolution of complex systems. It is the discipline of keeping evolving software products under control, and thus contributes to satisfying quality and delay constraints."
Why is CM needed?
At different points, and during different Phases or Stages of a Bid or Project, the features of its Products may differ. This could be due to:
- the planned development of parallel and different versions for different purposes or groups of Users
- incremental development, build and release
- iterative development (eg prototyping or the evaluation in parallel of several design options)
- the agreement and implementation of Changes.
In each case there will be more than one version of a set of Products (sometimes called a Product Baseline). A Configuration Management Plan describes how the Project will maintain the consistency of each Product Baseline, and avoid "cross-contamination" between, and within, parallel streams of work.
