The art of managing configuration change

We all have mixed feelings about change. Change is inevitable and is a sign of progress. Change is necessary and at the same time challenging. In the context of developing and maintaining complex technical systems, we all struggle with the management of configuration changes, taking into account a wide range of factors: Governance and organization, architecture and interfaces, design trade-offs, time, cost and quality as well as long- and short-term business needs.

Come and join the conversation!

Now, how do we, from a CM point of view, orchestrate a way to capture, assess, collaborate, and decide on configuration changes that adhere to all the above factors? How do we master the art of managing configuration change? Let’s meet in September and explore this topic in a CM Forum workshop.

This CM Forum workshop will focus on questions related to the management of configuration changes:

  • What needs to be considered when establishing a change process?
  • How do we best address configuration changes that affect variability and platforms?
  • How should we involve stakeholders effectively in the change control process?
  • What are the best practices for recording/documenting configuration changes?
  • When in the development process should change management be formalized?
