1. “The Changing World
of Configuration
Management”
Presented by: Debbie Dusterwald
Computer Sciences Corporation
February 2008

2. OBJECTIVES
Define change and how change affects
Project Management
Define NASA and Goddard
Requirements for Configuration
Management
Define what are the In-House and Out-of-
House Projects at Goddard and how they
are organized

3. OBJECTIVES (Cont’d)
Define the four principles of Configuration
Management
Emphasize the affects of Change Control
Discuss if Configuration Management
just happens

4. What is Change?
Make or become different
Something put or taken in place of
something else
To substitute

5. How does change affect any
type of Project with NASA?
Successful integration, testing and
launch
Correct technical errors
More effective performance
More cost effective
Accommodate new requirements
Ensure the objectives of any type of
Project are met

6. NASA Requirements
NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 7120.5C
NASA Program and Project Management Processes
and Requirements (Non Space Flight Project
Management)
NPR 7120.5D NASA Program and Project
Management Processes and Requirements (Space

8. In-House Project
What is an In-House project?
A spacecraft and/or instrument built on-
site at Goddard with an understanding
between subsystems. The responsibility
of authority is with the designated Project
Office.

9. Out-of-House Project
What is an Out-of-House Project?
A spacecraft and/or instrument built off-
site through the contracting office. The
responsibility of authority is the Project
office or System Engineering.

15. CONFIGURATION
MANAGEMENT (CM)
CM is a formal process of identification, control,
verification and accountability of requirements
to meet the overall objectives.
A process for the control of baselined
documents and drawings.
A process for the control of all proposed
changes to baselined documents and
drawings that may affect form, fit,
function, cost and schedule.

16. IN-HOUSE vs. OUT-OF-HOUSE
Requirements In-House Out-of-House
Project CCB Yes Yes
Mission/Sys Eng Yes Yes
CCB
SC/Subsys CCB Yes SOW
Instrument/ Yes / SOW Yes / SOW
Payloads
Drawing Control Yes SOW
Work Order Yes SOW

17. PRINCIPLES OF CM
Configuration Identification
Configuration Control
Configuration Status Accounting
Configuration Verification

18. CONFIGURATION
IDENTIFICATION
Process of identifying Configured Items
Designating technical documentation
Naming and numbering the Configured
Items

19. LRO SPACECRAFT

20. LRO PROPULSION MODULE

21. LRO COMMAND & DATA
HANDLING SYSTEM

22. DOCUMENT TREE
Documents that define all aspects of a
project

23. DRAWINGS
Defines all mechanical and electrical
aspects for a spacecraft and subsystems
Defines all interfaces

24. CONFIGURATION
CONTROL
Systematic coordination, evaluation, approval,
and release of changes
Ensure changes are properly and completely
defined
Evaluate the cost, schedule, and performance
impacts of a proposed change

25. CHANGE CONTROL
Configuration Control Boards (CCBs)
Project (Level 2)
Systems (Level 3)
Subsystems (Level 4)

26. Configuration Status
Accounting
Recording and reporting of all project
documents and drawings
- Approved List of Configured Items
- Status of Proposed Changes

27. CONFIGURATION
VERIFICATION
Ensure all requirements are in
compliance for Configuration
Management
Ensure all proposed changes
have been implemented
and/or resolved

28. CONFIGURATION
MANAGEMENT
WORKING FOR A PROJECT
Does Configuration Management just
happen?
Central focus point for any project
To be or not to be…
