The following people use the Bill of Materials:
The Bill of Materials is a living document; it lists the constituent parts of a given version of a product, and where the physical parts may be found. It describes the changes made in the version, and refers to how the product may be installed.
As such, it is recommended that a version of the Bill of Materials is produced with each build.
The Deployment Manager is responsible for creating, and maintaining the Bill of Materials. This responsibility is described under the Deployment Manager's Activity: Define Bill of Materials.
Any Bill of Materials will need to describe the items described in the outline (above), and in the referenced artifact templates. An organization may want to expand the table of contents. However, it is important to ensure that all the items called for in the Table of Contents can be found either by reference or by direct inclusion in the Bill of Materials document.
