Changes to baselines and the release of work products built from the configuration management system are systematically controlled and monitored via the
configuration control, change management, and configuration auditing functions of configuration management. There are three major set of activities that are involved in Configuration Management. 1. Activities to Establish Baselines 2. Activities to Track and control Changes 3. Activities to Establish Integrity. Flow in Change Management:See the Activity flow animation First of all the Process begins with the identification of the Configuration Items from the Software Product.Then they are entered in the Configuration Management System, which is a Repository by means of a seperate activity. As and when the Change Requests come up, they are incoporated in the Software baseline and when the Software works with the set of Change requests, a new baseline is established and released. A seperate activity is setup that controls the Configuration Management system and the Change request Database alike , after evey baseline released. Inorder to maintain integrity, there are two seperate activities to perform audits on the repositories on the Configuration Management System and the Change Request Database and the indicate any inconsistencies and action items that are recommended.Another activity generates the final Report of the final baselines created and set of all Change Requests implemented along with their corresponding releases. These set of activities are controlled by the Project Management who analyses the issues that has arisen the Software and take the decisive action to rectify or better it.  |
