Mostly it's SCM although some just use CM. Not to be confused w/ Supply
Chain Management.

NB: The field now covers other stuff, like defect/issue management
(because that's so often linked into source control).


Generally in the business worlds I've come from a CM is Customer Management or Configuration Management. In the company I just came from most everyone assumed that when someone said "CM", they meant Customer Management. Almost no one knew what an ERP system was (including the CEO). Few knew what SCM was (outside of the software engineers, but few of them had ever used anything other than RCS or CVS).
