Why should CM not be placed under the Project manager or Production IT department?

My supervisor used to have the CM function near the top of the hierarchy along with QA and Test to showcase how our functions touches may touch everyone on the project.

Recently, she moved CM to under Production.

I think this is a huge mistake because CM is much more than just processing CRs and creating release notes. I feel as though the CM role is being minimized for whatever reason. I plan on having a meeting with her to discuss why CM should not be placed under Productions.

Can anyone help in coming up with some points?

Do Your Agents Match Your Team Members' Personalities? Do Your Change Agents Match Your Team Members' Personalities?

Configuration management focuses on software process improvement in an organization in many important ways, impacting the application build, package, and deployment. However, some organizations are more open to change than others. If you want to be successful at bringing about positive change, then you need to be able to assess and understand the personality of your organization and identify the key change agents who can help you get the job done.

Can someone help with issues upgrading to Serena Dimensions v12.2?

We have just upgraded to Dimensions v12.2 and we have found a couple of issues. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? I've created cases with Serena support already but have not received solutions yet.

1. In Windows Explorer we cannot copy files from another location into our work areas. We receive a message the files in the work area cannot be overwritten. This is a problem for developers who make code changes outside of the work area and then copy them into the work area before delivery.

2. In Windows Explorer the Check-out option for Dimensions requires a Request but does not supply a dialog to enter or search for the request. CM rules are turned on for Items and Requests and I do not want to turn them off.

Any insight would be appreciated. Sometimes I feel like we are the only ones using this version.

How do I manage a bunch of merge conflicts with Git?

--- Context:
Conflicting merges must be solved by developers.
All developers are part of the same company on several sites.
A merge leads to a lot of conflicts involving several developers (for ex. During N -> N+1 synchronization while N and N+1 project versions are running in the same repository)

--- Here is my solution:
• All the conflicts are managed in a clone, merging_clone
• This clone is shared at OS level
• Developers of remote sites can connect to a local LAN Git machine to access merging_clone

1. The merge is started
2. Merges are detected and the integration team advises developers in charge of these pieces of code
3. The integration team gives tokens to avoid access conflicts on merging_clone
4. Each developer starts git mergetool, solves his conflicts, and frees his token.

My tokens system is not yet implemented.

Do you have any comments or alternatives?

What Does Your CM Manager Do?

A question came up in another topic, roughly: "Where does the CM Manager belong in the organization?" I found that to answer the question I needed to know what the CM Manager does - and this depends both on the tools and the organization.

In some organization's the CM Manager is responsible for builds. In others, not. In some the CM Manager is responsible for administration (ensuring servers running, users access, backups, etc.). In others, not.

So what does your CM Manager do? (and what CM tool(s) do you use?)

I'll start. We use CM+. Our product owner defines problems and activities to be addressed in each release of each product, in a prioritized fashion. The CM Managers observes, and occasionally contributes.
