Performing an SCM product evaluation is important so that the product selected meets the needs of the application being developed. Typically, there is not as much time spent evaluating SCM products as needed, even though an SCM product will be one of the more highly used tools in the application lifecycle. It is with this in mind that it is important to understand the levels of an SCM product evaluation and the level of risk each assumes. Communicating risk can help you raise the priority given to this task. It can also lead to the appropriate level of SCM evaluation that is aligned with the level of risk an application team is willing to take. There are several levels of a SCM Product Evaluation that may be performed, each with a different level of associated risk. They include the Research Evaluation, the Demonstration Evaluation, and the In-House/Full Evaluation.
