The implementation of a CM tool can become a major systems development and implementation effort. What starts as a small project to secure the firm’s source code can evolve into a major effort to improve programmer productivity. The CM practitioner is often swamped with non-stop requests from the developers who will often only accept a CM system if it is smart enough to do a lot of work automatically. In a large company different development teams may have very different requirements and software development lifecycles (e.g. PowerBuilder vs. Unix C++).
