Configuration Management (CM) is a vital discipline that ensures a product's configuration integrity, traceability, and consistency throughout its lifecycle. While the core principles of CM-such as identifying configuration items (CIs), managing changes, ensuring traceability, and maintaining accurate documentation-remain essentially universal, the way these principles are applied can differ substantially across industries. The driving factors behind these variations often include industry-specific regulatory requirements, project scale, operational risk levels, lifecycle complexity, and the nature of the developed product or system.
