Student Testimonials:
The detail of change management really helped me understand what is lacking in my work environment. Course 3 - CM Dynamics, January 19, 2011 Ive seen a few different CM presentations, all mostly consistent with each other. This course had more information, perspective, and insight than any other. Course 1 - CM Foundations, February 7, 2012 [Instructor] has shown ways to implement better CM processes in a way that makes sense to any auidence. Course 5 - CM for Software & IT Development, November 17, 2011 All courses provided what I think will help me with my job in terms of new ways and improvements to current processes. Course 4 - CM Implementation, October 27, 2011 I always knew we could do a better job but now I am more excited about the possibilities after discussions and lessons. So many opportunities... where to begin? Course 2 - CM Structures, November 10, 2010 I enjoyed the class and see the need to be a part of this process. My thought coming into this class was that its common sense but I understand theres more importance behind the principle/application. Course 6 - ANSI/EIA-649, March 3, 2010

Quality System standards such as TL9000 (Telecommunications) and AS9100 (Aerospace) specifically require CM whereas other Quality System standards, such as ISO 9001 and TS 16949 (Automotive), reference CM as a means of assuring identification and traceability. Even without specifically using the term configuration management, the US Code of Federal Regulations quality sections, found in Title 10 Energy, Title 14 Aeronautics and Space, Title 19 Labor, Title 32 National Defense, and Title 21 Food and Drugs, require implementing all of the elements of CM. This course will explain the various elements of CM such as planning, identification, change management, status accounting, verification, and audit.
