• Does Configuration Management Mitigate Project Risk - Abstract: This paper presents common software development activities and their associated risks while exploring what if any effect the role of configuration management has in controlling or reducing those risks. The object of this paper is to examine the role that configuration management plays in risk reduction during the software development process. To do this we must identify the activities within the software development process, and the configuration management process, as well as define the terms to be used in this evaluation. Once the terms and activities have been identified, the configuration management activities can be crossed referenced into the software development process. An evaluation can then be made as to the effectiveness of configuration management in limiting project risk during the software development process.
