What is the primary purpose of a Configuration Item (CI) identification process?
Answer: To select and uniquely identify items that need configuration control
CI identification selects which items require formal configuration control and assigns unique identifiers to each, enabling traceability throughout the lifecycle.
Which activity in configuration management ensures that the installed system matches the approved technical documentation?
Answer: Configuration verification and audit
Configuration verification and audit confirms that the as-built system conforms to its approved configuration documentation and baselines.
What does a Configuration Control Board (CCB) primarily evaluate when reviewing a proposed change?
Answer: The technical, cost, schedule, and risk impacts of the proposed change
A CCB evaluates proposed changes across multiple dimensions including technical merit, cost impact, schedule impact, and associated risks before approving or rejecting them.
Which baseline is established after successful completion of the System Design Review (SDR)?
Answer: Allocated baseline
The allocated baseline is established after SDR, documenting the approved functional and interface requirements allocated to each configuration item.
What is the purpose of Configuration Status Accounting (CSA)?
Answer: To record and report the status of configuration items and their changes throughout the lifecycle
CSA maintains a continuous record of the configuration status of all CIs, including their current approved configuration, pending changes, and change history.
Why is it important to establish configuration baselines at key lifecycle milestones?
Answer: To provide approved reference points for controlling subsequent changes and measuring progress
Baselines provide approved reference points that anchor the configuration at key milestones, enabling disciplined change control and progress measurement.
