Definition: Webster defines a tool as “something regarded as necessary to the performance of one’s occupation or professional task. [Words are the tools of my trade.]” Configuration Management (CM) tools come in several forms. For systems engineers and their sponsors, these tools include best practice methodologies, standards, documentation, managed environments, manual tools, automated tools, and leadership skills. These require and enable the discipline and rigor needed to plan, stand up, implement, and carry out CM successfully.

Keywords: automated tools, configuration management policy, program management plan, statement of work (SOW), tools
