Software configuration management is intended to control the configuration of a software product or system throughout the life cycle of the product and that includes the project that builds it. Software development organizations that have been certified as CMM or CMMI Level 2 or above will have a robust Software Configuration Management process in place; all you need to do is to determine the activities, tasks, milestones, and deliverables your project must plan to be compliant. Project managers who don’t have the advantage of an established Software Configuration Management process will have to implement one as part of their project. The advantage of doing so is twofold: you maintain control of the applications, networks, and manuals that are compiled for the system and you establish a re-usable process that can maintain control of the system throughout its lifecycle. The process you leave behind can also be used by other projects. Not implementing some sort of configuration management process will lead to problems when you try to produce builds and patch the software. Typical of this type of problem is the software bug that was fixed by an earlier build recurring in a subsequent build, or the 1 hour build that takes days.

There are 2 ways to approach the issue of configuration management where there is no existing process. You can either make the definition and implementation of a process part of the scope of the project, or you can implement just enough to satisfy the needs of the project and leave the implementation of a proper process for another project. I suppose a third option might be for the implementation of a CMMI Level 2 program to coincide with your project but very seldom will the project and program schedules permit this. The purpose of this article is to provide some tips and tricks that will give your project insurance against sloppy configuration practices without overburdening it with unnecessary overhead.

High tech construction and manufacturing software is not only for huge, multi-national corporations. The benefits that these companies get from using powerful software can also be realized by smaller operations. A local manufacturer that employs less than 20 employees can benefit from manufacturing software functionality just as much as a company 100 times thier size.

Divorce is so commonplace these days, we don’t seem to notice it much anymore. With up to 50% of marriages ending in divorce, this seems to add up to a lot of lives which are split in half. But instead of making this a difficult situation, perhaps there are ways to make things easier. Since families with children will most likely have visitation schedules, this also means that possessions will be split up between locations. With book inventory software, you can more easily keep track of where a child’s books are – one less thing to worry about when your child heads off to visit their other parent.

Two Sets of Bookshelves

Books are something children may not use as often as their cell phone these days, but if they’re still in school, books will still be an important part of their lives. If they are new to the divorce arrangement, they need to make sure they are keeping track of the things they own – especially when a parent lives far away from the other parent. With book inventory software, children can enter their own book titles in (if they’re old enough) and then they can make notes as to where there books are. When they are packing up for the week or the weekend, they can look at their book inventory and then decide whether they need to bring anything else with them for their other bedroom.
