Dificultades a la Hora de Usar Gestión de Configuraciones

The main activities difficulties in Configuration Management are:

• Incorrect planning: it is essential to programme the necessary activities correctly to avoid duplications or mistakes.
• Inappropriate CMDB structure: keeping an excessively detailed and exhaustive configuration database up-to-date can be a time-consuming process requiring too many resources.
• Inappropriate tools: it is essential to have the right software to speed up the data entry process and make the best use of the CMDB.
• Lack of Coordination between Change and Release Management making it impossible to maintain the CMDB correctly.
• Lack of organisation: it is important for there to be a correct assignment of resources and responsibilities. Where possible, it is preferable for Configuration Management to be undertaken by independent specialist personnel.
• Lack of commitment: the benefits of Configuration Management are not immediate and are almost always indirect. This can lead to a lack of interest on the part of management and consequently a lack of motivation among the people involved.
