Abstract:Configuration management is a kind of two-dimension project management tooling, and target at the compliance assessment of technical configuration and function of the product being developed . Configuration management main function is to establish procedures to Identify, review and change-evaluate, but not the technical contents, of some elements which related to the compliance assessment. This management does not involved in or creating a new technical configuration directly. Instead, it is a tracing and recording processing, purposed to alerting and pushing timely reviewing of the compliance of those configuration and functions generated at difference developing phase of the product, to further enhance the efficiency and foresight capability of project management.Compared to ours traditional practice, now the management emphasized more on detail and time transit follow up,not only macro-viewed and phase-end compliance assessment. Configuration management is interconnected to data management, but two have difference roles as the latter is a base, therefore must satisfy the demand of former, but former would not responsible for data source construction as it is just a data application. For customer service , the priority task of configuration management is to those products which are developed for customer service used by OEM, rather then to in-service products, which is a business controlled by end user .
