This focused episode introduces Configuration Management (CM), a vital, often-underappreciated discipline and a key knowledge area for the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ). CM ensures you always know what version of a product or deliverable you're working with.

Join us as we explore:

  • What is Configuration Management? We define CM and explain why it's crucial for projects delivering complex products, software, or documentation.
  • The Key Elements: Breaking down the four main activities of CM: planning, identification, control (using baselines), and status accounting.
  • Baselines and Versions: How CM helps establish and control baselines to prevent scope creep and ensure changes are tracked and authorized.
  • Practical Impact: Understanding how effective CM helps with quality assurance, auditability, and maintaining the project's 'golden thread' of documentation.

By the end of this microlesson, you'll have a clear grasp of Configuration Management principles, empowering you to control your project's outputs and ensure all stakeholders are working from the correct version of the truth. 🧩
