Excerpt: 1.1 Overview. Software Configuration Management (SCM) is a process that is used to establish and maintain the integrity of the deliverable products (e.g., requirements documents, design documents, source code, input and output files, and executable code) created throughout a project?s software life cycle1. SCM ensures consistency of a product?s performance, and functional and physical attributes, with its requirements, design, and operational information.
