Establish Configuration Management Records
Establish and maintain records describing configuration items.
- Record configuration management actions in sufficient detail so the
content and status of each configuration item is known and
previous versions can be recovered.
- Ensure that relevant stakeholders have access to and knowledge
of the configuration status of the configuration items. Examples of activities for communicating configuration status include:
- Providing access permissions to authorized end users
- Making baseline copies readily available to authorized end users
- Specify the latest version of the baselines.
- Identify the version of configuration items that constitute a
particular baseline.
- Describe the differences between successive baselines.
- Revise the status and history (i.e., changes and other actions) of
each configuration item as necessary.
