Configuration Management is… Continuity!
Products evolve, teams change, regulations change, markets shift— but continuity in CM ensures that knowledge, decisions, and configurations remain intact.
Without continuity, companies face knowledge loss, rework, and inefficiencies when personnel changes or systems transition. CM provides a structured approach to maintaining historical data, ensuring that lessons learned aren’t forgotten and that products remain traceable over their lifecycle.
Continuity isn’t just about keeping records or stability—it’s about resilience. It’s about reducing the reliance on tribal knowledge and preserving the organizations knowledge so that an organization can scale, innovate, and adapt.
