What you’ll see…

• Baseline system can’t be produced when needed
• Rework during test because components are not what was expected
• Complete inventory of system components unavailable when needed – Causes wasted time to find parts and specs and interfaces
• Uncontrolled changes that lead to uncontrolled rework

Why Should You Care? Because…

• Not knowing what is in the product leads to embarrassing discussions with customers
• Inability to rebuild/revisit a previous baseline wastes money and resources during maintenance
• Not being able to verify that the product tested is the product delivered costs you time, effort, and customer confidence
• If you don’t know what’s in or out of the product, you don’t know what you don’t know!
