I hope that anyone who builds software and uses a configuration management system can learn from this book. The details of the configuration management problem change depending on the types of systems that you are building, the size of the teams, and the environment that you work in. Since its probably impossible to write a book that will address everyones needs and also keep everyones interest, I had to limit what I was talking about. This book will be most valuable to someone who is building software, or managing a software project, in a small to medium size organization where there is not a lot of defined process. If you are in small company, a startup, or in a small project team in a larger organization, you will benefit most from the lessons in this book. Having said that, even if your organization has a very well defined, heavy, process, that seems to be impeding progress, youll be able to use the patterns in this book to better focus on the key tasks of SCM.
