Configuration Management

This is one of the first books on management to take readers on a journey that traces the management theory behind the things we produce and consume that starts in antiquity and continues through the evolutionary development to their current implementation. Understanding this back story is critical to grasping the implications of decisions made in the first 60 days of any development program, as these decision impact 90 percent of the downstream developmental costs. The book is resplendent with original artwork and real-world examples of how configurations are managed across all market segments—uniting theory with practice and application.
