Abstract

The process of configuration management (CM) in the field of project management (PM) solves the problem of consistency support of the project product and the project itself. The problem is caused by the inevitability of the changes during the project implementation. If the CM processes of specific material objects (project products) are studied deeply enough, the CM processes of the project elements, for example management processes, risks, works, commands, procurement, etc., and, in general, the project itself are investigated only at the conceptual level, and require further work in this direction. In the research, the next step in this direction, namely developing the mathematical, formalized description of the generalized CM process without regard to the object of its application was made. In particular, a formal description of the individual action of the CM process at the abstraction level that allows to present an operation or procedure, or a sub-process in the form of such action was obtained. The classification of actions was introduced, and it was found that the whole CM process can be divided into five groups of actions, each being performed as a response to a specific event. The presence of these groups allows to specify the actions that are executed once, after the object mismatch, periodically and randomly, what is necessary to calculate the performance indices of the process under study. It was also found that the CM process is a set of its embodiments, for which the description scheme was proposed. In addition, the classification of changes in the controlled object, which may occur during its life cycle was introduced.
