Manage configurations in and across the CLM tools in the 5.x M6 beta

These days software developers don’t think twice about putting their source code under configuration management.  The advantages of using configuration management speak for themselves: Creating a shared development context: Each person can load their workspace with the same files and file versions.

Organizing our teams for Continuous Delivery
