An [[ITIL]] Visual Configuration Management Database (Visual CMDB) is a series of [[Microsoft Excel]] spreadsheet applications that integrates the [[CMDB]] with [[Change Management]] and [[Service Level Management]]. A Visual CMDB provides a unified view of the [[Information Technology]] (IT) infrastructure in a visual representation. This common view is a cornerstone for implementing a sucessful Configuration Management process.
A Visual CMDB helps manage IT assets(CIs) such as [[Hardware]], [[Software]] and [[computer network|network]] components and associated details such as data files, documentation and service level information.
The integration of Change Management with a Visual CMDB allows users to do impact assessments for change and to make the correct changes to the infrastructure to keep the CMDB in sync with reality. The Forward Schedule of Change provids additional visual information to help with change [[impact assessment]] over time.
