How to save the part of the world that does not make software with Configuration Management? - Manuela Mantione

There are many people who manage complicated Engineering projects without any idea of what Configuration Management is. They need help!

The pandemic and smartworking have exposed problems and challenges that some companies were not realizing before, such as managing and tracking change requests, collaborating on drawings or other artifacts, avoiding chaos. They miss the right tools and practices and try to compensate for them with generic solutions like endless phone calls to find out what's happening, spreadsheets and working harder.

As Software Configuration Managers, we have knowledge, experience and technical skills that are valuable also in other Engineering fields. Let's talk about how we can create awareness of Configuration Management and what could be the first steps to help other Engineers in need.
