(SI) Supporting Implementation - (CAR) Causal Analysis and Resolution, (DAR) Decision Analysis and Resolution, (CM) Configuration Management & (COCO) Communication and Coordination


SI (Supporting Implementation)
This CA involves identifying and addressing the causes of selected outcomes, creating a decision-making approach and structure, maintaining the integrity of work products, and fostering communication and coordination among stakeholders.

Causal Analysis and Resolution identifies causes of selected outcomes and acts to either prevent reoccurrence of undesirable outcomes or ensure reoccurrence of positive outcomes.

Decision Analysis and Resolution aids in making decisions using criteria-based evaluation of alternatives and recording the results.

Configuration Management establishes and maintains the integrity of work products using configuration identification, control, and audits.

(Future) Communication and Coordination promotes timely communication and ensures the workforce has the skills to share information and coordinate activities efficiently.

The company you choose, the girl or guy you marry, the house you buy, the career option you choose. Isn’t it a great idea to have a tool or intelligent mechanism to make the life easy which would help you to choose the best possible decision based on some real facts rather than some random decision?

Resource management is acquiring, allocating and managing the resources, such as individuals and their skills, finances, technology, materials, machinery and natural resources required for a project. Resource management ensures that internal and external resources are used effectively on time and to budget. Resources may be obtained internally from the host organisation or procured from external sources.

Article: Book Review: Configuration Management: Using COBIT 5
Author: ISACA | Reviewed by Diana M. Hamono, CISA, CGEIT, COBIT 5 Foundation
Date Published: 20 November 2017

https://www.isaca.org

Configuration Management: Using COBIT 5 provides a clear and concise walk-through of the configuration management process and associated threats, mitigation actions, COBIT 5 enablers and other useful information. It is based on the COBIT 5 enabling process BAI10 Manage configuration and includes MEA01 Monitor, evaluate and assess performance and conformance, specifically for configuration management. This latter enabling process is useful in that it includes some customized activities to perform periodic evaluations of the configuration management performance.

Albeit brief, the book is a useful resource for those involved in an organization that is establishing configuration management practices following the COBIT 5 approach. The book is also a great resource for IS auditors embarking on an audit of configuration management as it lists the threats associated with configuration management, mitigating actions and COBIT 5 enabling processes.

Article: Automating Configuration Management for DevOps Test Environments by Capgemini.
Main Author: Renu Rajani, Vice president, Capgemini India.
Contributing Author: Manish Goyal, Senior Manager; Capgemini India.

Configuration management represents a key challenge when implementing a robust test environment management framework on cloud.
  
(1) Background
The transformation of business to a customer-centric digital ecosystem, coupled with the advent of agile- and DevOps-based IT processes, has accelerated the adoption of cloud technology solutions.

Migrating these legacy IT systems to the cloud has certain, obvious advantages. By supporting global development and decreasing product deployment time, organizations worldwide have been able to rollout product features faster and accelerate the time to market.

From a QA perspective, testers be able to quickly verify the testing deliverables. It is important that the setup time for test environments is significantly reduced for cloud-based IT systems. Therefore, both automated test environment setup and on-demand provisioning or removal of test environments are becoming an important element of modern-day software projects. In traditional software development projects, configuration management (CM) is a manual process for establishing and maintaining the consistency of a platform’s functional and physical attributes. In modern day projects, it is essential to have an automated process in which the environment provisioning is done instantly and new environments remain consistent with previous ones. Configuration management represents a key challenge when implementing a robust test environment management framework on cloud.
