What does configuration management evaluate and control?

Configuration Management (CM) is a discipline to evaluate and control changes to the program technical baseline and all associated program baselines (e.g., contracts, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), budget, schedule, test, etc.), and their documentation throughout a product’s life cycle.

What does configuration management establish and evaluate before approval?

CM establishes program baselines and evaluates cost, risk, schedule, technical, and full impacts of potential changes prior to approval decision.

What is the purpose of the configuration management process?

The purpose of the CM process is to establish and maintain the integrity of all identified outputs of a project or process and make them available to stakeholders (Reference: International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) 15288).

What must the Program Manager implement to maintain program baseline consistency?

In accordance with (IAW) AFI 63-101/20-101, Integrated Life Cycle Management, para. 5.2.1.6, the PM must implement CM to establish and maintain consistency of program baselines throughout the life cycle to assure Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E).
