Hi David, I think that it is problematic to say that SCM is at the heart of CMDB. It's pretty clear from ITIL that it is not. This is the problem with the ...
I think the original poster is trying to drill-down to the notion of "traceability" in the software development process, that SCM is supposed to support to a...

Actually - I did mention the model-driven approach when I spoke of MDA/MDD: requirements is just one part of it, its not all design; the model-driven approach...
Brad - ... Let me paraphrase what I think I hear you saying... "existing SCM products aren't very good at search." Is this an accurate translation? - David...
... I dont beleive so. Existing mainstream SCM tools are intentionally designed to be trace-centric rather than search-based. Existing tools can search quite...
The ASG product direction is very exciting, and one to watch. Especially if you 1) already have them for metadata and 2) don't have a CMDB also. As I've noted...
