Configuration management ( CM ) is a process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product ’ s performance and functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design and operational information throughout its life.

The CM process facilitates orderly management of system information and system changes for such beneficial purposes as to revise capability ; improve performance, reliability, or maintainability ; extend life ; reduce cost ; reduce risk and liability ; or correct defects.

CM emphasizes the functional relation between parts, subsystems, and systems for effectively controlling system change.

A complete CM program includes provisions for the storing, tracking, and updating of all system information on a component, subsystem, and system basis.

A structured CM program ensures that documentation ( e. g., requirements, design, test, and acceptance documentation ) for items is accurate and consistent with the actual physical design of the item.

Configuration Management ( CM ) as a formal management approach was developed by the USAF for the DoD in the 1950s as a technical management discipline for hardware material items — and it is now a standard practice in virtually every industry.

The CM process for both hardware and software configuration items comprises five distinct disciplines as established in the MIL – HDBK – 61A and ANSI / EIA-649.

Availability of accurate and timely data is essential in order for CM to provide operational value and a lack of this can often be a limiting factor.

Update is also the term used by some CM tools ( CM +, PLS, SMS ) for the change package concept ( see changelist ).
