  1. Configuration Management Bill Fournier billfournier4@gmail.com 202 255 0760 Bill Fournier Dec 2014

  2. Agenda • Value/Application • Definitions • Stages • Relationship to SE, PM, Test , Contract, and Support • Planning and Tailoring • Four Functions • Configuration Identification • Configuration Control • Configuration Status Accounting • Configuration Audits • Tools and Standards • Future Trends

  3. Value/Application • Value - correct balance of control and inclusion for decisions related to specifications, drawings, and interfaces • Applicable • Government • Commercial • International • Services Bill Fournier

  4. Definitions • Systems- Products, Processes and People & boundaries, Purpose • Requirements- Needs & technical requirements • Decision Data base- A systems record of decisions made and rationale • Configuration Management – functions and documented physical products Plan, ID, control, status, audit the technical baseline of system • Change Management- Includes configuration Management • Data Management- Broader data than formally controlled • Technical /Design Reviews- decide if maturity worth going forward • ECP – Permanent change to baseline • RFW/RFD- temporary change to baseline • Level I vs Level II • PCA • FCA • Functional, Allocated, and Production Bill Fournier

  5. Stages • Exploratory Research • Concept • Development • Production • Utilization • Support • Retirement Bill Fournier

  6. Relationship • SE/PM- WBS, Risk, cost control, schedule control • Test • Contracts • Change Management • Data Management • Support • Inputs- CI & change requests • Activities- Plan Perform • Outputs- CM Strategy, Baseline(s) , Report • Original req.- New, change, original, deleted • Good changes- add functions, new technology, LC cost reduction, RAM improved Bill Fournier

  7. Planning and Tailoring • At beginning of Project/System • Tied to PMP, SEMP/SEP, LC model and Acquisition Strategy • Slight Revised • Annually, Contract, Phase/Stage. Contract, Release/Phase • Acquirer and Supplier Planning • Formality, Control, Communication • SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR Bill Fournier

  8. Configuration Identification • 1 or 100 • Need a specification • Procure more for production or support • High risk Bill Fournier

  9. Configuration Control • ECP • Class I- Major • Class II- Minor • RFD • RFW • CCB Bill Fournier

  10. Break Bill Fournier

  11. Configuration Status Accounting • Build to Print • As Built • Revision, metrics Bill Fournier

  12. Configuration Audits • Verification • Functional Configuration Audit • Physical Configuration Audit Bill Fournier

  13. GMD vs. X vs. Ketchup • Planning • Configuration Identification • Configuration Control • Configuration Status Accounting • Configuration Audits Bill Fournier

  14. Standards, Guidelines and Tools • ANSI/EIA-649-1998 National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management • EIA-649-A 2004 National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management • TechAmerica/ANSI EIA-649-B 2011 Configuration Management Standard • Federal Standard 1037C • GEIA Standard 836-2002 Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability • MIL-STD-973 Configuration Management (cancelled on 20 September 2000) • Guidelines • 828-2012 Currently active IEEE Standard which supersedes/supports older ones. • MIL-HDBK-61A Configuration Management Guidance 7 February 2001 • GEIA-HB-649 - Implementation Guide for Configuration Management • ANSI/EIA-649-1998 National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management • EIA-836 Consensus Standard for Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability • MIL-STD-3046 (ARMY) Interim Standard on Configuration Management, 6 March 2013 • Tools mostly SW CM • Aegis, Subversion, Perforce/P4,Darcs, and CVS Bill Fournier

  15. Future • Software intensive • Speed of Development • On line CM • Greater Specialization • Recycle Systems • Tools automated self documentation • Interfaces • CM even greater value Bill Fournier
