Abstract

Most of the studies in the area of configuration management (CM) are aimed at processes that control the consistency of tangible objects in a particular subject area. However, in the project management practice, there are problems that require consistency support of intangible objects, such as management processes, risks, work, team, procurement, etc., as well as the whole project. To solve this problem, it is necessary to have a single consistent, conceptual framework, based on which, it is possible to develop and describe the CM process of any object, regardless of the subject area. An attempt to develop a conceptual framework, based on the aggregation of the CM processes of tangible objects of  various subject areas and the CM process of the project was made in the paper. In particular, it was found that the justification for the existence of a generalized CM process is the need to avoid damage (of any nature) from the inconsistency of the controlled object. This inconsistency may occur only if there is the possibility of uncontrolled changes in the external or internal environment of the object. It was determined that all actions to support the object consistency are aimed at creating conditions for the cause-effect relation between the requirements (of any nature) to the object and the object itself. Also, the goal, objectives and structure of the generalized CM process were identified, and its optimization problem based on performance indicators such as the expected value and the expected damage was formulated.
