This document contains a set of templates for software configuration management (CM) documents, processes, and procedures.  For software CM processes and related activities and artifacts, these standards-driven templates provide generic descriptions and instructions that, as needed, can be tailored to specific organization or project needs. This template package is applicable to manual or automated methods. It can be used to manage a highly critical 10-line software work products as well as complex programs containing 1 million lines of code.

This set of templates will aid a software engineer, without extensive knowledge of software configuration management to implement this process. No expensive training or extensive experience is necessary to use the templates. To help users understand more about the processes being supported, explanatory text and diagrams accompany the templates.   

Thirteen different templates are provided. Document templates are provided for software configuration management policy, strategy, plan, and organization. A process template is provided for the overall software configuration management process. Procedure templates are provided for software configuration management identification, change control, status accounting, check-in/check-out, audits and reviews, and product release and delivery. Procedure templates are also provided for subcontractor and external interface CM. In addition to these templates, this document provides five different aids to help support the CM process. The aids are a document approval matrix, a list of the recommended contents for a software change request, a list of the recommended contents for a status accounting record, a list of common CM acronyms, and some information on standards.

CM is a key requirement for software engineers who design, build, and deliver a quality, error-free product. These templates help insure that this requirement is fully met. Every Template comes with three hours of free consultation. The publisher will answer any question concerning the template for 60 days after date of purchase.  Order this great configuration management set of configuration management templates now!
