This monograph covers the topic of Configuration Management. Configuration Management (CM) formalizes the process of making changes to a system under development so that the system's builders maintain an appropriate configuration record and can always ensure that they know what the correct version of the system consists of. It is intended to establish and maintain the consistency of a system's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout the systems life and is considered a "best practice" within the system engineering discipline. Managing changes to requirements is essential to minimizing cost and schedule overruns on transportation system projects. CM's ability to control changes to requirements is a major reason for employing it on ITS projects. |
