• Process and/or method descriptions for configuration control provide support for all concerned stakeholders.

• Configuration control is performed with satisfying results.

Configuration control (or Configuration change management) includes managing changes to the approved product configuration information for a product, using a systematic, traceable process.

 

Changes must be documented, coordinated, evaluated, dispositioned and approved. The only changes that should be incorporated into a product and its product configuration information are those that have been coordinated with impacted areas of responsibility and approved for incorporation by the appropriate change approval authority.

 

The configuration control process includes:

• Identifying the need for a change

• Defining and documenting impacts of the proposed change

• Evaluating the proposed change and coordinating it through the approval or disapproval decision

• Incorporating the change in the product and its related product configuration information

• Verifying that the change has been incorporated and that the product is consistent with the product configuration information

• Completing any required follow-up study to identify and correct conditions that led to a need for a variance
