Configuration Management System

A structured set of processes and tools used to identify, organize, and version project artifacts, and to monitor, approve, and record any changes to them.

Key Points

  • Defines how configuration items (documents, deliverables, code) are identified, versioned, and baselined.
  • Works with change control to evaluate, approve, implement, and document modifications.
  • Provides configuration status accounting for traceability and reporting of item states.
  • Enables configuration audits to verify items match the approved specifications and baselines.

Example

On a construction project, drawings, specs, and schedules are stored in a controlled repository. A change request to a structural drawing is reviewed by the change control board; once approved, the configuration management system updates the drawing's version, adjusts the baseline, and logs the change with links to impacted documents and work packages.
