The Software Management Volume describes the activities making up the organization's standard process for managing a software project. This volume outlines a process consistent with an organization performing at SEI CMM Level 3. Thus, the management activities described provide a framework for an organization's growth through SEI's repeatable and defined levels of organizational maturity, establishing the organizational prerequisites for advancing to higher levels.
The Software Management Volume consists of two activities: 1.1 Plan Software Project and 1.2 Track Software Project. Activity 1.1 covers all planning activities, and activity 1.2 covers the day-to-day management of the software project.
