CMP

A Configuration Management Plan is a comprehensive document that describes how Configuration Management will be implemented for a specific program, project, or contract. CMPs define CM organization, responsibilities, procedures, tools, and activities for establishing and maintaining configuration control throughout the system lifecycle.

CMPs typically address configuration identification, change control, status accounting, and audits. Understanding CMP requirements helps contractors develop compliant CM systems and demonstrate capability to manage complex configurations. Well-executed CMPs support system integrity, change traceability, and effective program management.
