Overview
In this activity, the software configuration management (SCM) manager completes the SCM Plan (SCMP), most of which the SCM manager has developed in the preceding subactivities. Once the plan is complete, it is reviewed and approved by the project software manager.
Roles and Responsibilities
The SCM manager is responsible for completing and submitting the SCMP to the project software manager.
The project software manager is responsible for providing information on project schedules and requirements to the SCM manager. The project software manager is also responsible for reviewing and approving the SCMP.
Controls
See parent activity 1.1.2 Plan Software Configuration Management.
Inputs
The SCMP which has been partially completed in prior SCM planning activities.
The Scope, Referenced Documents, and Overview of Required Work sections of the Software Development Plan (SDP) (see Appendix E), which may be referenced by the SCMP.
Procedures
1) The SCM manager reviews the project’s partially completed SCMP and compares it to the SCMP DID in Appendix E.
2) Using information provided by the project software manager, the SCM manager fills in any additional, required sections of the SCMP DID. If there are any sections that repeat information contained in other, already completed plans (e.g., the System Overview of the SDP), the SCM manager may reference or copy the pertinent sections of the other plans.
3) The SCM manager submits the completed SCMP to the project software manager for review and approval.
4) Upon approval of the plan, the SCM manager completes a Promotion Notification Form (PNF) (see Appendix C) and places the SCMP under SCM (see activity 2.1.1 Place a New Document Under Software Configuration Management).
Outputs
The completed SCMP.
