A robust Software Configuration Management (SCM) process is critical for the success of any modern software or IT organization. SCM enables companies to control changes to their products and to define mechanisms for managing different sub-components and versions.

Ask yourself the following questions about your SCM process:

• Do you have a stable infrastructure and platform for storage, assembly and release of your software components?
• Are you able to manage the development of new product versions in a controlled manner, ensuring quality and consistency?
• Do you have a repeatable process for building all desired configurations of your applications?
• Are you able to ensure that external and internal releases are packaged in the appropriate form for correct installation and deployment?
• Are you able to automatically deploy to test and staging environments where needed? Can you verify the configuration deployed in each environment at any given moment?
