Principles of Configuration Management - PCM - 8 Mar 2012
Establishing some form of control mechanism for projects, whether it be documentation or the actual equipment itself, is a vital element of success. Being able to track requirements throughout the acquisition process, identify, control and manage changes and to know the exact build state of equipment in services is a fundamental element of managing projects. Reducing expenditure, eliminate wasteful resource and understanding the impact and cost of decisions on a project are just some of the benefits of successful configuration management. This course provides an overview of the subject by taking delegates through each stage of CM, allowing them to practice the key skills involved as they construct a model, tailored for their project, that they can apply in the workplace.
