This standard establishes the minimum requirements for Configuration Management (CM) in Systems and Software Engineering, without restriction to any form, class, or type.
This standard describes CM processes to be established, how they are to be accomplished, who is responsible for doing specific activities, when they are to happen, and what specific resources are required. It addresses CM activities over a product’s life cycle. This standard is consistent with IEEE’s Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2008.
Revision Standard – Inactive-Reserved. This standard establishes the minimum requirements for processes for Configuration Management (CM) in systems and software engineering. The application of this standard applies to any form, class, or type of software or system. This revision of the standard expands the previous version to explain CM, including identifying and acquiring configuration items, controlling changes, reporting the status of configuration items, as well as software builds and release engineering. Its predecessor defined only the contents of a software configuration management plan. This standard addresses what CM activities are to be done, when they are to happen in the life cycle, and what planning and resources are required. It also describes the content areas for a CM Plan. The standard supports ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2008 and adheres to the terminology in ISO/IEC/IEEE Std 24765 and the information item requirements of IEEE Std 15939TM
