Configuration management: Software Configration Management (SCM) is set of activities that is used to manage the change.

As the first law of S/W engineering states: "No matter where you are in the s/w life cycle, changes will occur".

In the present era, the s/w industry has to face a lot of intervention or request from its client during the development phase. SCM is just a solution of that.
