http://www.itskeptic.org/node/41 Comments for "The key to living without CMDB is process maturity level" en http://www.itskeptic.org/node/41#comment-389 <p>Further to this, the NOEMI methodology decided that small business is so low on the maturity scale they invented new increments between 0 and 1.</p> <p>The idea of setting up a CMDB at a maturity less than 1 is laughable. Pragmatism dictates that Configuration Management boils down to a financial asset register and the rest stored as “him over there”: all the relationships and impact analysis are in someone’s head.</p> <p>I think this scales up into SME too. You have to be a fairly substantial sized org before the economies of "aurtomation" as in a tool vs a person's head, kick in. Otherwise the initial investment and the ongoing maintentance cost to keep it uncompromised and accurate far outweighs the risk of using "wetware" (a brain).</p> Sat, 06 Jan 2007 09:08:33 +0000 skeptic comment 389 at http://www.itskeptic.org
