Overview
In this activity, the software project plans (i.e., Software Configuration Management Plan (SCMP) Software Development Plan (SDP), Software Test Plan (STP), Software Project Training Plan (see Appendix E) are implemented, the software project’s progress is monitored, risks are identified and tracked, and the software project plans are updated.
Roles and Responsibilities
The project software manager is responsible for tracking the software project’s progress, verifying that the software project plans are kept current, and supporting the project-level reviews.
Controls
The Project Plan which documents what system-level reviews will be held and their schedules.
Inputs
Software metric reports documenting the project’s status.
Software project plans (e.g., SDP, SCMP, against which progress is measured, and which are updated as the software project progresses).
Procedures
Activity 1.2.1 begins at software project start-up. Activity 1.2.2 is performed based upon the system-level review schedule as documented in the Project Plan.
1) 1.2.1 Monitor Software Project Performance - This activity covers overseeing and tracking the software project’s progress. This effort includes formal and informal progress reviews, measuring planned versus actual software project status, mitigating and tracking risks, reviewing software project metric reports, and updating the software project plans.
2) 1.2.2. Participate In Major Project Reviews - Throughout the course of the project, the project software manager will be asked to participate in project-level reviews. These reviews will vary between projects. In this activity, the general project review process is outlined. For information on the various reviews see Attachment II of this volume.
Outputs
The updated software project plans which are maintained under configuration control.
