| The purpose of Configuration Management is to establish and maintain
the integrity of work products using configuration identification,
configuration control, configuration status accounting, and
configuration audits.
The Configuration Management process area
involves the following:
-
Identifying the configuration of
selected work products that compose the baselines at given points in
time
-
Controlling changes to
configuration items
-
Building or providing
specifications to build work products from the configuration
management system
-
Maintaining the integrity of
baselines
-
Providing accurate status and
current configuration data to developers, end users, and customers
The work products placed under configuration
management include the products that are delivered to the customer,
designated internal work products, acquired products, tools, and other
items that are used in creating and describing these work products.
See the definition of “configuration management” in Appendix C, the
glossary.

Acquired
products may need to be placed under configuration management by both

management should be established in supplier agreements. Methods to
ensure that the data is complete and consistent should be established
and maintained
