This template helps you to create a configuration management (CM) plan. This resulting document enables you to describe to the stakeholders how configuration management will be managed for their project, list the CM tools that will be used to endorse success. It describes the sections and contents you need to produce this plan and the usual circulation amongst the project personnel.

In the creation of a project plan, lower level plans are developed to meet specific needs of that project, for example, the configuration management plan. Projects documentation is usually extensive and there must be a well-defined administrative process in place to keep track of all documents that are produced during the project life cycle.

Therefore the purpose of the configuration management plan as applicable too most project are shown in the above diagram. Your plan will need to reflect the culture of the organization and the particular nature of the project itself. This plan also needs to provide an outline of:

• Differences in expected standards and procedures that are required for this project.
• Provide an explanation of the activities aims outlined in the plan.
• List of interrelated aspects or dependencies that this plan has with other projects.
• Describe the security measures being taken for all CI master copies

The challenge when developing a configuration management plan is to create a process that is suitable for the size and scope of the project. If the plan is seen as overly bureaucratic or time consuming then it is difficult to get project team members to use it.
