Why Configuration Management? Because it's easier and cheaper to identify problems early in any development effort, before those problems cascade throughout the development and implementation life cycle, increasing the cost of resolution many times over.

Organizations and projects implement configuration management in different ways using different tools. The main objective is to maintain document and code integrity and traceability through the development and maintenance processes.

Organizations are sometimes challenged by the wide array of configuration management (CM) tools and associated methodologies. Some approaches can easily link requirements to deliverable products, testing activities, and risk factors. Others methods and tools have shortfalls and require trade-offs to achieve return on investment.
