Practical Support for CMMI-SW Software Project Documentation Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards

The CMMI®-SW, a compendium of recommended requirements for software engineering, promotes the continuous evolution of improved software and system engineering processes. Organizations seeking to satisfy documentation requirements of CMMI®-SW Levels 2 and 3 will find invaluable support in this clear and systematic text.

Beginning with a comprehensive summary of CMMI®-SW, the authors present detailed guidance on the implementation of these industry standards, including how to define and train a process team, set goals, fix timelines, baseline and implement processes, and perform gap analysis and self-auditing procedures. In addition, they describe common procedural pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Practical Support for CMMI®-SW Software Project Documentation offers:

• Detailed organizational policy examples
• An integrated set of over twenty deployable document templates
• Examples of over fifty common work products required in support of assessment activities

A companion to Jumpstart CMM®/CMMI® Software Process Improvement, this in-depth reference will expedite the design and development of process and product documentation. Even organizations not pursuing CMMI® accreditation will learn how the application of IEEE standards can facilitate the development of sound software engineering practices.
