  1.   Configuration Management in Agile Projects | CSM Training -   World Of Agile    Configuration management is an administrative activity aimed at  managing the configuration of all of the project's key products, resources  or assets.    The aim of Configuration Management (CM) is to establish and maintain  the integrity and control of a project's key products, resources or assets  throughout a project's life cycle or during the ongoing operation and  management cycle.    A configuration item is an entity that is subject to Change Control. The  entity may be a component of a product, a product or a set of products  that form a release.    Configuration Item Records    During the life cycle of the product, the product goes through many  changes which leads to creation of configuration Items Record. The  purpose of the Configuration Item Records is to provide a set of records  that describe information such as the status, version and variant of each  configuration item and any details of important relationships between the  items.    Many times during the project lifecycle it is seen that the root cause of  major problems is - not able to track where things went wrong in the first  place. This may happen due to various reasons such as     • “Team” owning the code instead of an individual  • Multiple people working on same piece of work  • Distributed teams    Typically the code goes out of sync or gets overwritten and it is required  to go back to a certain version which actually worked without any issues.   

  2. Therefore effective Configuration Management is essential in an ​Agile  environment. Configuration Management ensures that all the artifacts of  projects which need to be controlled are under active management. This  means     • They are kept in a safe environment that is backed up regularly.  • Changes to configurable item are recorded  • Having ability to recover the previous version of the artifacts    Good configuration management is the key to success regardless of the  methodology used. It is particularly important in Agile where the work is in  a state of flux and the testers are working in close collaboration with the  developers to work on intermediate builds.    Best Practices on configuration management in Agile Projects are    • Invest in a good automation tools  • Enforce discipline in code check-ins e.g. everybody checks in Everyday  • All Checked in code should be reviewed and unit tested and it should  integrate successfully with other components  • Use code analysis tools that helps identify issues upfront  • Use tools that allow multiple people to work on a single file at the same  time and help merge the files on a daily basis  • More importantly, hire a good configuration manager in your team    For More Information, Follow the Links below-    Website - ​https://worldofagile.com/  Facebook - ​https://www.facebook.com/Fascinating.World.Of.Agile/  Twitter -​ https://twitter.com/WorldOfAgile  LinkedIn - ​https://www.linkedin.com/company/world-of-agile/  YouTube - ​https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldOfAgile      Tags - ​Scrum Master Certification​, ​Scrum Master Certification Mumbai​, ​Scrum Master  Certification Pune​, ​Certified Scrum Master Training in Delhi​, ​Scrum Master Certification  Kolkata​, ​CSPO Certification​, ​Agile Scrum Master Certification Online​, ​Advanced Certified  Scrum Master Training​, ​DevOps Training​, ​Prince2 Certification​, ​PMP Certification​,​ ITIL  Certification
