The document contains heatmaps assessing two Saudi Aramco participants' configuration management systems across various elements and lifecycle phases. Participant 1's system shows strong integration of configuration management planning across the lifecycle. However, areas for improvement include more fully funding and staffing continuous improvement efforts, defining roles and responsibilities, and communicating with external stakeholders. Participant 2 demonstrates strengths in stakeholder engagement and training, but their system could benefit from stronger documentation of processes, roles, and resources as well as greater alignment of processes throughout the lifecycle.
