Configuration Management and Web Page Configuration

---

Each team will be given two directories: one in which to place all project artifacts on the web, and another for software development and software releases to the client.

The configuration manager's duties are:

• Configuration Management
• Place all documents and software under version and access control, using use a configuration management tool if appropriate
• Allow only authorized team members access to certain project artifacts
• Back up all project files
• Web Site
• Publish and update the main project page
• Post new documents to the project web directory
• Archive and make available historical documents
• Review Configuration
• Review project artifacts to be sure that their links work
• Resist every temptation to rework a document (you may not make document changes for another team member; everyone is responsible for their own documents)
• Inform team members of inappropriate submissions
• Project Artifacts
• Write the Configuration Management Plan and updated regularly as necessary
• FTP Site
• Use the project's FTP Site for submissions
• Configuration Checks
• Maintain a neat and organized directory structure
• Be ready for checks to be made by the project supervisor at any time during the semester

The following templates should be used.

• Main Project Page
• Weekly Reports Page
• Inspection Reports Page
• Historical Archive Page
• Configuration Management Plan

If any section of any form is not applicable, leave the section and replace the contents with "Not Applicable" along with the reason the section is not applicable.

Advice: Because the configuration manager's job can be time consuming, keep things as simple as possible.  Create directories labeled by role out on the ftp site where team members submit their work for posting.  When an item is posted, delete it from the ftp directory.  Be vigilant in checking the ftp site two or more times daily for items to post.
