The course begins with an exploration of SCM's definition, contrasting it with hardware configuration management and highlighting its significance in adhering to standards like CMMI, ISO, and IEEE. It delves into how various software development paradigms influence SCM planning and practices, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between SCM and other project disciplines such as quality assurance and ITIL standards. The curriculum further explores SCM structures, covering essential concepts like identity, streams, branches, and effective branching strategies through practical workshops. It addresses the dynamics of SCM including version control, change control, build and test management, underscoring the importance of maintaining product integrity through meticulous release and dependency management. A dedicated section on Git and GitLab offers hands-on experience with distributed version control systems, from installation to creating commits and handling merge requests. The course concludes by discussing SCM implementation strategies, infrastructure evaluation, technology selection, and leveraging SCM for improved customer relationships, cost control, schedule adherence, and maximizing return on investment.
