The Agile Alliance

The Agile Alliance was chartered by most of the founders of the Agile movement and is dedicated to "promoting the concepts of agile software development." As a member of the alliance, SCM Labs stays on the forefront of the Agile movement and frequently participates in the furthering of the movement.

Authors of the SCM Patterns book

Steve Berczuk and Brad Appleton co-authored "Software Configuration Management Patterns", a truly Agile book on SCM. The content primarily focuses on the Version Management portions of SCM with a slant towards "truly effective" solutions. The book is a very easy read and one that no CM Manager or development lead should be without. Steve, Brad and Steve Konieczka from SCM Labs are currently collaborating on the monthly column in CM Crossroads on SCM as it relates to the Agile Development movement.

The Association for Configuration and Data Management

The Association for Configuration and Data Management (ACDM) was founded in 1991 as a national professional organization for people and companies involved in configuration, data and change management in the software products and services industry.

SCM Labs President Steve Konieczka is sits on the Board of Governers for ACDM, is an active member of the conference committee and is the Membership Chair.

National Association of IT Change Management

The mission of National Association of IT Change Management (NAITCM) is to "advance the concepts and practices of configuration, change, and problem management in the Information Technology infrastructure. By so doing, help practitioners become more knowledgeable and skilled in professional practices and enhance their capacity to deliver quality IT service."

SCM Labs' CEO Scott Lehman helped found the NAITCM. SCM Labs is still very active in the association.
