How to introduce configuration management to a new startup - Lars Bendix

One of the projects that the students can chose on my configuration management course is titled "How, what and when to introduce SCM in a small start-up". My students always get the when and sometimes/often also the how completely wrong. We discuss it at the oral exam and usually we end up agreeing on the when and how for the whats.

In this Open Space I would like to put my opinions to the test. To see to what degree my ideas align with those of real-life practitioners of SCM.

Even if your company is not a new startup maybe your needs (the what) and your priorities (the when) could/should be the same, though the implementation (the how) will probably differ.
