The software configuration management (SCM) planning process includes defining the specific SCM roles and responsibilities for the project. This involves:
* Role Identification: Identifying all roles related to SCM, such as SCM Manager, SCM Engineer, and Configuration Librarian.
* Responsibility Assignment: Clearly defining the responsibilities associated with each role.
* Documentation: Documenting these roles and responsibilities in the SCM plan to ensure clarity and accountability.
This step is crucial for establishing a clear framework for managing configuration items and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
