The Configuration Management (CM) Team provides consultation services for U.S. Air Force organizations to understand, evaluate, and adopt software configuration management technologies with the goal of improving productivity, predictability, and maturity of their software processes.

The life expectancy of any software engineering organization in today's world is directly related to its commitment to strong software configuration management practices, its communication effectiveness through documentation, and its adherence to accepted software engineering standards.

The Configuration Management, Documentation, and Standards Team is committed to helping you reach and maintain your software process improvement objectives. We will help you formulate a systematic strategy for success through on-site evaluations and discussions with key personnel, make recommendations for changes and improvements, and most important, we will be there to guide your organization step by step through the entire software process improvement effort.
