This article compares change control processes across aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries, highlighting their distinct approaches shaped by different failure modes. It emphasizes the need for cross-industry learning to adapt traditional frameworks to modern challenges, particularly in handling continuous software updates. A unified CM2 framework is proposed for enhanced governance.
This article discusses the importance of separating change governance functions within organizations to improve project outcomes. It introduces the Enterprise Change Assessment, Change Review Board, and Change Implementation Board as distinct roles that clarify assessment, decision-making, and implementation, addressing common issues like budget overruns and unclear responsibilities in project management.
This article from the How Do YOU CM2? series emphasizes the importance of capturing design rationale in decision-making for effective knowledge management. It highlights how failing to document the reasoning behind design choices leads to inefficiencies, particularly for new hires. AI can assist in documenting these rationales seamlessly during the engineering process, improving future decision-making.

This article discusses the potential negative impact of AI on the skill development of junior configuration managers in the realm of configuration management. It highlights the risks of reliance on automation, including skill degradation and reduced critical thinking. Proposed solutions include manual practice, graduated automation, and competency gates to preserve human expertise alongside AI adoption.
This article discusses the integration of AI in configuration management, highlighting the challenges posed by probabilistic decision-making compared to deterministic systems. It emphasizes the need for governance frameworks to validate AI outputs against compliance requirements and establish confidence thresholds for manual review in decision-making processes.
This article discusses challenges of AI-assisted product changes, particularly context degradation in large language models as conversations progress. It introduces scaffolding, a structured approach to maintain contextual integrity in change management. By emphasizing task decomposition and context engineering, organizations can improve AI performance and enhance governance in engineering workflows.
