About this course
An introduction to the discipline of configuration management: its standards, functions, processes and practices, why configurations matter and how they are identified and managed across the system life cycle.
The course covers configuration management responsibilities and baselines, the five major functions defined in EIA-649-C (planning and management, identification, change management, status accounting, and verification and audit), and how configuration management applies in each life-cycle stage, with exercises throughout.
