Change and Configuration Management
This course teaches a basic understanding of Configuration Management using a practical example, i.e. the participants have the opportunity to try out specifics of what they have learned in a project and experience the effects of it. The participants work in teams in order to experience the Configuration Management activities as realistically as possible. The example simulates essential parts of the product life cycle.
Short lecture blocks provide the theoretical knowledge necessary for the next step. Sufficient discussion time ensures an in-depth understanding.
