#ConfigurationManagement is… #Efficiency!
The perception by many is that #CM adds bureaucracy and slows you down, while the opposite is true. CM done right, will make you go faster!
What often happens is that people perceive CM to be slowing them down, create work arounds or implement CM half-baked and cause mayhem. Guess who gets blamed for the mayhem? While a lot of the mayhem would have been prevented if they just followed a simple procedure.
