It covers configuration management roles, life cycle planning, configuration identification, change management, status accounting, verification, and audits. It requires program managers to implement configuration management and applies selected practices from Department of Defense, Air Force, and commercial standards.
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.
CM establishes program baselines and evaluates cost, risk, schedule, technical, and full impacts of potential changes prior to approval decision.
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).
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).
The primary CM industry standard adopted by the DoD is American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Alliance (ANSI/EIA)-649-1, Configuration Management Requirements For Defense Contracts.
