Activity Information

Establish Configuration Management Records

Description

Once all configuration management work products and configuration items are reviewed and in an acceptable state, they must be placed under configuration control in the configuration system. Each item must have its revision history and change log updated. Finally a configuration management baseline report is generated to capture the current baseline information. All changes to the configuration management system must occur through change requests once the baseline is created. This record shows the baseline of configuration items for internal or external purposes.

Steps

  1. Place Configuration Management Items in the Configuration System:

    Create a configuration management baseline by placing configuration items related to configuration management into the configuration system. Configuration items to include are identified in the configuration management plan, and include items such as the configuration management plan itself, configuration management guidelines, configuration management access control policy, and configuration management tools.

    Update the revision history and change log for each configuration item. Be sure all configuration management items are reviewed and in an acceptable state for the baseline.
  2. Build Configuration Management Baseline Report:

    The configuration management plan, guidelines, access control policy, and related configuration management items (such as configuration management tools), constitute the configuration management baseline. Build a configuration management baseline report that includes the revision history, change log, and current status of each of these configuration items.
