Information can be found at www.ccr.gov Controlling project deliverables is a crucial element for the SMART program. Contemporary information technology projects are often performed by a diverse project team working in a distributed environment. Therefore, maintaining control over key project deliverables is a challenging process. The software configuration management (SCM) tool needs to be used for the control of tangible project artifacts, such as software artifacts and work products, throughout the project life cycle. Structured processes in the area now referred to as SCM include controls needed to: ? Verify that project software and documents are physically secure ? Protect the integrity of completed deliverables ? Validate that work in progress is secure and backed up on a regular basis ? Control updates made to completed deliverables ? Establish that the appropriate version of a deliverable is used ? Control the release and issuance of updated deliverables ? Support deliverables kept ?in step? with each other ? Centralized Build Management ? Extensive Audit Trail Serena PVCS Professional Suite, is a issue, version, and build management suite, capable of performing sophisticated process and version management for team development.
