Configuration Management
Configuration management is a method used for tracking, managing, and storing changes made to a system or software product. This method helps in the secure development and operation of the system or software by preserving the correct configuration settings.
Configuration Management (CM) is a critical component for the success of projects and products. This training introduces the fundamental concepts and methods of CM to document the physical and functional requirements of configuration units and provide full transparency. A study conducted by IAEA shows that configuration issues are still a major problem regardless of the company size and nationality, indicating the need for improvements.
