CMMI FAQ 0


2nd August, 2015

For the above-mentioned question, CMMI consultants may take inputs from the following inputs.

The purpose of Configuration Management (CM) is to establish and maintain the integrity of work products using configuration identification, configuration control, configuration status accounting, and configuration audits.

The scope of this process area is to identify, track and control all configuration items and to ensure pertinent versions of software work products are traceable to requirements.

Input for managing the Configuration Management:

  • Documents pertaining to project initiation and execution.
  • Any input to the first phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC).

Activities are conducted for Configuration Management:

  • Identification of Configuration Items
  • Establishing Configuration Management System
  • Establishing Baselines

(Baselines need to be established at a minimum of two phases at the beginning of project & at delivery) Baselining can be done more frequently depending upon the type and size of project. Baselining of artefacts can also be done on the basis of time period and deliverable

Control Changes to Configuration Items:

Following are the change control procedures:

Logging the Change Request

Categorize, prioritize and Analyze impact of change requests

Take approval from Change Control Board

Implement Changes

Base-line work project

Monitor Change Requests

Perform Configuration Audit

Release base-lined work product

Close Change Request

Outputs

Following Outputs are created during the implementation of the Configuration Management activities:

  • Configuration Management Plan
  • Base lined CI’s
  • Master List of CI’s
  • Change Request Form
  • Change Request Log
  • Project Manager Workbook
  • Baseline Audi Checklist
  • Delivery audit Checklist

The above is not an exhaustive coverage of the Configuration Management (CM), CMMI Process Areas but is substantive enough for CMMI Consultants to create a good foundation of the Configuration Management process in an organization.
