  • common baselines and basline establishment

  • aquirers configuration audits

  • terminology

  • Information models and structured information exchange

In a general sense, all components in the CMplus capability model have reason to be analysed in an aquire-supplier scenario. For configuration management to efficiently support the aquire-supplier relationship, requirements on the CM function is necessary. Requirements on configuration management can be defined as a subset of requirements on project management or system engineering.
