Configuration Management Plan

A section of the project management plan that explains how configuration items will be identified and tracked, what is placed under configuration control, and how any changes to those items will be recorded and communicated.

Key Points

  • Defines which project artifacts are configuration items and establishes baselines.
  • Specifies identification, versioning, and status accounting processes.
  • Details the change request workflow, approval bodies (e.g., CCB), and required documentation.
  • Lists tools/repositories used and sets reporting and audit practices for configuration control.

Example

On an ERP rollout, the plan names the requirements document, interface specs, test scripts, and deployment scripts as configuration items. When a change request to an interface spec is approved, the team updates the version in the repository, records the change in the log, and issues a weekly configuration status report to stakeholders.
