Configuration Management is a process for establishing and maintaining the consistency of a product's functional and physical attributes throughout its lifecycle

CM2 extends traditional Configuration Management (CM) by including all information impacting safety, security, quality, schedule, cost, profit, environmental responsibility, and corporate reputation. It emphasizes Integrated Process Excellence, continuous improvement, and provides clear methods for:

1. Managing change effectively
2. Reusing best practices and standards
3. Keeping requirements clear, concise, and valid
4. Communicating these requirements promptly and precisely
5. Consistently meeting requirements

Transitioning from siloed CM to an enterprise-wide CM2 approach is a major shift that consistently delivers significant positive results. Achieving this requires bringing all enterprise datasets and requirements under formal control with standardized processes.
