Change Management
Completion requirements
A critical component of project monitoring and control is change management. As business requirements and operating environments change, the project manager has to manage change throughout the software development cycle from acquisition, supply, development, operation, and maintenance. The guiding principles, techniques, and tools for change management are discussed in this chapter and complement what we read earlier.
Automated Tools for Change Management
Tools for Configuration Management
Configuration management tools, commonly called software libraries or
code libraries, have been around since the early 1970s (see Table 18-5).
The more sophisticated, newer models make version and variation
management simpler by supporting complex functions, such as conditional
compilation.
