Soft Tech Purpose The purpose of Software Configuration Management is to establish and maintain the integrity of the products of the software project throughout the project's software life cycle. Goal 1 Software configuration management activities are planned. Goal 2 Selected software work products are identified, controlled, and available. Goal 3 Changes to identified software work products are controlled. Goal 4 Affected groups and individuals are informed of the status and content of software baselines. The project follows a written organizational policy for implementing software configuration management (SCM). A board having the authority for managing the project's software baselines (i.e., a software configuration control board - SCCB) exists or is established. A group that is responsible for coordinating and implementing SCM for the project (i.e., the SCM group) exists. Adequate resources and funding are provided for performing the SCM activities. Members of the SCM group are trained in the objectives, procedures, and methods for performing their SCM activities. Members of the software engineering group and other software-related groups are trained to perform their SCM activities.
