Choose the correct answer

A company is executing a large distributed engineering project. More than a dozen engineers are contributing to the system model, working from different locations spread across three time zones The lead engineer has decided that it is essential to maintain a single model. The department director has expressed concern that the project may have trouble employing its engineers productively while still maintaining configuration control of this common model.

Which configuration management strategy is likely to be most successful*?

A
Use a centralized repository for the model files Allow only engineers in the eastern-most time zone to upload changes to the model files in the mornings, and the western engineers in the afternoons. Either can download and view the model files at any time. This will assure maximum productivity while minimizing the possibility of collisions
B
Use a configuration management tool to manage model elements. Assign ownership of model elements at the package level-Only the owner of a package may make changes to elements in that package Note that each relationship between model elements must be contained within a single
package
C
Use a configuration management tool to manage model elements. Allow packages to be checked out by any user for editing, which locks the elements therein contained Packages may be viewed in read-only mode by any user at any time All model users receive alerts when a package they are viewing has been modified and checked-in. and changes are highlighted Packages may not remain checked out overnight
D
Co-locate the modeling team Trying to maintain configuration of a model across a distributed team is extremely difficult and may not succeed
