CM2-02 Requirements and the CM2 Baseline

The ineffective management of the Digital Thread across the enterprise leads to corrective actions throughout the product lifecycle—including software, hardware, systems, facilities, and infrastructure.

Managing both product and enterprise requirements forms the foundation of the Digital Thread. The processes that define the Digital Thread for a product or service include the concept, development, production, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning phases. Configuration Management is the backbone of both product and enterprise requirements that serve as the foundation of the Digital Thread.

This course outlines the methods required to establish the Enterprise Digital Thread and explains how to develop, structure, manage, and drive enterprise-wide improvement through the CM2 model. It also addresses the definition, structuring, and ownership of product, solution, and business requirements—key elements of effective requirements management.

Participants who successfully complete the final exam will receive a certificate approved by IpX (Institute for Process Excellence).
