IROC Change Control Board

General

Configuration Management Coordinator

The Change Management Coordinator (CMC) has the following responsibilities:

  • Gathers and reviews all proposed change requests.
  • Determines adequacy of supporting documentation and, if necessary, returns inadequately documented Change Requests (CR) to the submitting party for further documentation.
  • Categorizes Change Requests.
  • Enters Change Requests into the Configuration Management Repository (CMR).
  • Prepares change request submissions for review by the CCB, as appropriate.
  • Facilitates, through the build process, any CR having security consideration (as identified in the SIA) to assure that the CR addresses security issues throughout the life cycle of the build (e.g., Requirements, Design, Test).
  • Coordinates with the IROC Project Test Coordinator to ensure the Test Coordinator conducts a post implementation review.
