Describe 5 Roles Related To Configuration Management (2024)
Feels a bit short!!!!! what do you think?
It is the Project Managers responsibility to ensure that the project has a suitable Configuration Management System.The Sponsor must support the Project Manager in explaining the system to the Senior Stakeholders.
Specialists within the project support such as quality manager or configuration librarian will administrator the system and Team Members must adhere to the procedures set out in the Configuration Management Plan.
Five roles related to Configuration Management are:
Configuration Librarian – This role is often part of the Programme Office function.The Configuration Librarian is the custodian of the configuration library and will ensure that the Project Manager and Team Members follow the correct procedures.
Major tasks are:
·Control the receipt, identification, storage and issue of all projects products
·Provide information on the status of all products
Configuration Item Controller – will be responsible for individual configuration items.They own the technical specifications and are responsible for the product delivering to those specifications.It is the Configuration Item Controllers role to ensure that all items have been checked and updated if changes are to be made to a configuration item.
Project Manager – will produce the Configuration Management Plan and include within the Project Management plan. Responsible for ensuring all who work on the project are aware of the Configuration Management Plan and understand how the plan works.
Project Assurance – would include Configuration Management in the processes they audit.It is this functions responsibility to perform the Configuration Management Audits at predetermined stages.
Project Team – responsible for developing the projects product and therefore must work in accordance with the procedures set out in the Configuration Management plan.They may see it as a hindrance but if communicated properly will understand that it is in the best interest of the project.
it is quite a short answer. Remember the marking guidelines asked two or three sentences per point and you meet these criteria, so you should be alright.
I’m not too sure about the role of project assurance, on many projects this wouldn’t be a permanent post, it would be often done externally, it might be worth mentioning this in your answer. Also it’s worth mentioning that configuration item controller is technical, done by design engineer or technical specialist.
Other than that the answer is okay. Best of luck with the exam, get in touch if you need any more help.
This article summarizes best practices from successful, experienced configuration man- agers, organized by five functions inherent in CM: ❚ CM planning and management ❚ Configuration identification ❚ Configuration change management ❚ Configuration status accounting ❚ Configuration verification and audit.
Does the organization have an understanding of the breadth of CM as defined within the five 5 pillars of Configuration Planning, Identification, Change Management, Status Accounting, Verification and Audit?
Configuration management is a necessary tool for managing complex software systems. Lack of configuration management can cause serious problems with reliability, uptime, and the ability to scale a system. Many current software development tools have configuration management features built in.
A configuration manager is responsible for defining the scope and objectives of the CM process, such as what components are subject to CM, what standards and procedures are followed, what roles and responsibilities are assigned, and what resources and tools are needed.
The five pillars – the declaration of faith (shahada), prayer (salah), alms-giving (zakat), fasting (sawm) and pilgrimage (hajj) – constitute the basic norms of Islamic practice. They are accepted by Muslims globally irrespective of ethnic, regional or sectarian differences.
Examples of a configuration management system include version control systems as well as specialized configuration management platforms like Puppet, Ansible, and Chef.
The PM is ultimately responsible for configuration management, although someone else may maintain the items' follow-up matrix and version control. This procedure includes determining the project's progression and defining its completion requirements.
What are the basic principles for effective Configuration Management? The key principles are planning, identification, change control, status accounting, verification, and audit.
