Description

Many organizations (except large corporations, who know better) still do not follow any structured CM practice. Not only are deliverables constantly in jeopardy, or corrupted due to failed or incorrect builds, but the development staff is in constant states of frustration. These small to medium organizations either have never heard of CM, or think that their application, staff or environment (way of doing business) doesn't need it.

By providing a repeatable process, and automating it in such a way that everyone will use it, you guarantee that changes are known, traceable, can be undone, and shared. You will also inherit many valuable capabilities, and with the right tools, are able to provide parallel efforts, such as bug fixes and enhancements to your current product, while proceeding with new development on the next release.

CM should be tailored to an organizations needs. As well, it should be adaptable to the organizations growth or changing needs. Choosing the right tools, and designing the adaptive processes up front will help your group in the short and long term. You should start by identifying your needs, and laying the groundwork for the definition of standards and processes. Many of the basic processes involved in basic change control are already fairly standardized. Your specific processes and standards need to be defined. Then, choose the right tool to support them.

When we arrange for any graphics project, there is information and content I need from you in order to provide you with a quality product. If you need a logo for example, please give me details. Some people ask for a proposal but don't even provide the name (branding). Not many designers are clairvoyant. I cannot design around vapor, and I cannot read your mind. You may expect certain things from me too, such as honesty, communication, security and quality support (more below).

In any organization developing software, where developers and support personnel share files, the potential for disaster exists. Even if one or few are developing or modifying dependent files, and a standards-based, repeatable process isn't in place, you have no guarantee that your product (program or project) will complete as planned. Someone will forget something, or change something that someone else (or another file) depended upon. You can count on it.
