The software configuration management (SCM) planning process includes defining the specific SCM roles and responsibilities for the project. This involves:

Role Identification: Identifying all roles related to SCM, such as SCM Manager, SCM Engineer, and Configuration Librarian.

Responsibility Assignment: Clearly defining the responsibilities associated with each role.

Documentation: Documenting these roles and responsibilities in the SCM plan to ensure clarity and accountability.

This step is crucial for establishing a clear framework for managing configuration items and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
