What is Configuration Management (CM)?

While there are many industry-specific definitions of Configuration Management (CM), a good general definition is the application of resources, methodologies, processes, best practices, standards, governance policies, and configuration management software tools to establish and maintain consistency and traceability between product requirements, the actual product as manufactured and serviced over its lifecycle, and associated product data for all the creators, users, revisers, and custodians of this information.

Regardless of the industry or application, configuration management methods, processes and software must support the fundamental pillars of CM including configuration identification, configuration status accounting, configuration change control, and configuration verification and audits.
