Software Configuration Management

Software Configuration Management (SCM) is a systematic process that helps teams track, organize, and control changes made to software projects. It ensures that all team members work with the correct versions of code, documentation, and resources, preventing mistakes and enabling smooth collaboration. SCM involves maintaining version histories, managing different development branches, and coordinating updates, so the software remains consistent, reliable, and easy to maintain over time. It acts like a thorough record-keeper, ensuring that any modifications are documented and reversible if needed.
