Configuration Management (CM) is often misunderstood as tedious and bureaucratic. However, it plays a crucial role in business success by fostering communication and collaboration across departments. Those in CM possess valuable people skills that facilitate change, making the process rewarding and enjoyable. Continuous improvement in CM enhances efficiency and quality.
The CM Game is an open source configuration management game designed to raise awareness about CM challenges using LEGO® bricks. Available under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, it encourages users to create extensions and improvements. Facilitator instructions, presentations, and design files are included, but users must purchase LEGO® bricks separately.
