1 Introduction
1.1 Terms of reference
The Configuration Management (CM) Study Group of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7/WG7 was created by the Resolution 11 passed at the interim WG7 meeting in Recife, Brazil, November 2003:
SC 7/WG 7instructs its Secretariat to establish a Study Group on ISO/IEC 15846 Configuration management. The terms of reference for this Study Group are to: * Review the document to determine its future * Recommend a suitable course of action for consideration by WG 7. The Study Group shall take into consideration: * The work of SC 7/SWG 5 on categorizing SC 7 documents, SC 7 N2839 * The fact that the documentwas eventually published as Technical Report type 1 * The TC 176 document ISO 10007 Configuration management * IEEE Std 828 Software Configuration Management * EIA 649 National Consensus Standard on Configuration Management * Harmonization activities within SC 7. Its membership will consist of: Jim Moore (IEEE-CS), Jonathan Earthy (Great Britain), Anatol Kark (Canada), Bob Johnson (USA), MarceloPessoa (Brazil) This study group will be chaired by Anatol Kark and will submit a report by 2004-03-01.

1.2 Membership
The Study Group members were: Jonathan Earthy (Great Britain), Robert Johnson (USA), Anatol Kark (Canada) – Chair, James Moore (IEEE-CS), Marcelo Pessoa (Brazil) Members of the Study Group did seek assistance from their respective National Bodies and organizations.

1.3 Inputs and documents considered
As per above the resolution the following documents were considered. Please note that EIA 649 National Consensus Standard on Configuration Management document could not be obtained and therefore was not taken into the account inconsiderations. • ISO 10007:2003. ISO 10007 is a guidance document developed by ISO TC176. It is intended to provide guidance on the configuration management aspects of ISO 9001. ISO/IEC TR 15846. ISO/IEC TR 15846 is a Type 1 Technical Report published in 1998. By definition, a Type 1 TR is the result of a standardization project where consensus could not be obtained. In addition to references to ISO 10007and ISO/IEC 12207, the document imposes additional requirements for Configuration Management. IEEE Std 828-1998. IEEE Std 828 -1998 was provided from and used with permission from IEEE. It is a normative document prescribing the content of a Software Configuration Management Plan. It can therefore be viewed as an elaboration of a configuration management planning activity. IEEE Std 828 iscurrently being revised by the IEEE. The planned changes are small and intended to clarify compatibility with IEEE/EIA 12207 (identical with ISO/IEC 12207 for this subject) and the IEEE Computer Society’s Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (ISO/IEC TR 19759). ISO/IEC 15288:2002. ISO/IEC 15288:2002 is a normative document providing life cycle processes for systems. It contains a...
