About the Institute of Configuration Management

The Institute of Configuration Management is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. We are best known for our Configuration Management II model, Configuration Management II training and certification programs.



Mission Statement

Components essential to our success include ensuring that Configuration Management II (CMII) continues to represent the best industry practice, maintaining excellence in how we deliver our services, helping software companies provide enabling tools with proper functionality, and providing oversight as needed to ensure that implementations are successful. We are only as successful as our customers, suppliers and employees are jointly successful.

Our success to-date has come from being leaders, not followers. We broke the mold of traditional Configuration Management (CM). We shall continue to break molds that do not work, embrace ideas that do work, and do both in a positive way.



CMII: An Enterprise-Wide Approach

CMII expands the scope of CM to include all information which could impact safety, security, quality, schedule, cost, profit or the environment.

CMII also shifts the emphasis to integrated process excellence and provides the how-to for:
(1) accommodating change,
(2) optimizing the reuse of standards and best practices,
(3) ensuring that all requirements remain clear, concise and valid,
(4) communicating (1), (2) and (3) to users promptly and precisely, and
(5) achieving conformance to requirements in each case.

CMII promotes continuous improvement in (1) through (5).
