SCM defines a mechanism to deal with different technical difficulties of a project plan. In a software organization, effective implementation of software configuration management can improve productivity by increased coordination among the programmers in a team. SCM helps to eliminate the confusion often caused by miscommunication among team members. The SCM system controls the basic components such as software objects, program code, test data, test output, design documents, and user manuals.
The SCM system has the following advantages:
Reduced redundant work.
Effective management of simultaneous updates.
Avoids configuration-related problems.
Facilitates team coordination.
Helps in building management; managing tools used in builds.
Defect tracking: It ensures that every defect has traceability back to its source.
