Which Practice Area is the only one that has two levels?

• A. Configuration Management (CM)
• B. Governance (GOV)
• C. Planning (PLAN)
• D. Causal Analysis & Resolution (CAR)

Answer: (A)

Two levels in a Practice Area come from an internal split in focus within that area. Configuration Management uniquely divides its work into two distinct strands: establishing and maintaining baselines (configuring and identifying the product and its components) and controlling changes to those baselines (change control and configuration status accounting). That dual focus creates an internal two-level structure for this Practice Area, which isn’t the case for the other areas listed, whose content centers on planning, governance, or problem analysis without the same two-level split. So Configuration Management is the one that has two levels.
