Things are now beginning to quieten down!
Having been in post as Configuration Management Engineer in our Training Production Group for over 6 months, my role is now pretty much enshrined into the way we produce training, and more importantly how we change training. I came back to work after a week's holiday today and there was nothing of a pressing nature awaiting my return. Everything had been ticking over nicely while I was away, with my understudy managing to deal with things in a perfectly satisfactory fashion in my absence. I am taking this as a sign that our config management system is now robust enough to handle my absence without any problems, which is very reassuring. As confirmation that our config management system has been accepted by even the most doubting members of staff, I am constantly being asked to config manage more and more of the releases of our courseware, even from areas where initially there was considereable resistance to my efforts. I am pretty pleased that my efforts have been appreciated by others in our the training production side of our company and I have to pass on all the credit for this to my CMII training, which I have used as a model for the way config management should be applied to the production and change management of training. I only wish that a similar config management of training could be applied to our national education system, which my youngest daughter is experiencing at the moment, as I am absolutely sure that close config management would overcome the traditional problems of differing success standards being achieved by different teachers, due clearly to their pupils actually receiving different lessons from different teachers. Surely, the best teachers should be identified, and they then produce courseware for all other teachers, with close config management to ensure that all the pupils receive the best of lessons, to exactly the same standards as all the other pupils. Surely it can't be that hard!
