The configuration management process
The main aim of the configuration management process is to identify and control configuration items that exist as part of the system development across the life cycle.
Configuration items may be directly related to particular aspects of the model and, as a consequence of this, the whole configuration management process for an MBSE approach is typically far simpler than one that is applied to a document-based systems engineering approach. Refer to the following diagram:
The diagram here shows the process content view for the configuration management process from ISO 15288 and is visualized using a SysML block definition diagram.
The outcomes, represented by SysML properties, that are identified for this process are described as follows:
- Configuration items identified: This outcome identifies which elements in the model are classed...
