Configuration Management Principles and Practice

Documentation activities are the first activities in product development, up to coding. These may be preliminary study, user requirement activity, and analysis and design. The activities are widely different, but, from the point of view of configuration management, the products they create don't differ much. Therefore, these activities are treated collectively here.
