Abstract

The CM2-CORE six-course series provides a comprehensive framework for achieving enterprise-wide configuration management excellence through a structured, scalable, and integrated approach. Spanning six progressive modules, the series equips organizations with the methodologies necessary to align business objectives with best practices. Courses included are:

  • CM2-01 Foundation of Operational Excellence: Introduces the foundational principles of documenting, validating, and managing requirements to improve efficiency and reduce costly corrective actions. Participants will learn techniques to ensure all requirements remain clear, concise, and valid, to support a proactive and efficient working environment.
  • CM2-02 Requirements and the CM2 Baseline: Provides a roadmap for building a robust Digital Thread, emphasizing the foundational role of structured requirements and configuration management in reducing lifecycle inefficiencies.
  • CM2-03 Fundamentals of Change Management: Introduces a closed-loop change process that maintains digital twin integrity, improves visibility, and supports faster, more effective decision-making across the product lifecycle. Additionally covered are key building blocks essential to Enterprise Configuration Management (ECM) that exist beyond the change process itself.
  • CM2-04 The CM2 Change Process: Focuses on the strategic value of change management, as well as defines roles, workflows, and cultural shifts needed to reduce quality issues and position change as a competitive advantage. It reaffirms the power of the CM2 closed-loop and fast-track change processes, offering organizations an edge by reducing quality issues and minimizing corrective actions
  • CM2-05 The Complexities of Lifecycle Sustainment: Introduces key additions to the CM2 process, essential for managing the Digital Thread and maintaining visibility of the Digital Twin during the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) phase.  Additionally emphasized is the importance of supply chain data management in preserving the integrity of the Digital Thread and the unique challenges of managing it across different lifecycle phases.
  • CM2-06 Enterprise CM2 Implementation: Through a step-by-step simulation, participants assess current practices, identify strengths and weaknesses, develop transition plans, and manage projects to deliver measurable business results.
