Functionality supporting CM

Incomplete capability

  • Relevant IT systems do not support the organisation's needs in order to perform adequate CM processes and methods.

     

  • Being aware of necessary functionality to support CM processes and methods in general.

  • Particular skills to handle functionality in particular IT tools.

Performed capability

  • A substantial part of relevant IT systems supports the organisation's needs in order to perform CM processes and methods.

Managed capability

  • All relevant IT systems supports the organisation's needs in order to perform CM processes and methods.

The information that is under control in order to manage the configuration of a system is for most organisations distributed in serveral IT systems. Requirements data might be stored in a requirement management system, various documentation such as specifications, testreports, technical publications etc, might be documents in a document management system, Logistic analysis or RAM data might stored in particularly appropriate tools, etc.

​

Each IT system that contains information that is under formal control must have functionality that supports CM, such as:

  • Id and version for information content.

  • support for version history

  • Freezing content to establish baselines

  • check-in / check-out functionality

  • setting status for content to support a particular workflow (draft, released, ...)

​

These features must be adapted to support the agreed processes and methods for CM.
