CMM - L3 - Defined - SPE, IC

The purpose of Software Product Engineering is to consistently perform a well-defined engineering process that integrates all the software engineering activities to produce correct, consistent software products effectively and efficiently. Software Product Engineering involves performing the engineering tasks to build and maintain the software using the project's defined software process (which is described in the Integrated Software Management key process area) and appropriate methods and tools

Traceability needs to be maintained across work products of different life cycles.

Documentation needed to perform the software engineering tasks (e.g., software requirements document, software design document, test plan, and test procedures) is developed and reviewed to ensure that each task addresses the results of predecessor tasks and the results produced are appropriate for the subsequent tasks

Some goals at this KPA are software engineering tasks are defined and integrated. Software work products are kept consistent with each other

Activities performed can be summarized as below: Software requirements, design, codes, testing etc. are performed according to the defined process.

Intergroup Coordination

The purpose of Intergroup Coordination is to establish a means for the project team to participate actively with the other engineering groups so that the project is better able to satisfy the customer's needs effectively and efficiently
Some goals here are that various requirements between groups are agreed by all and the groups identify, track, and resolve intergroup issues.

Some activities include:

1. Representatives of the project team work with representatives of the other engineering groups to monitor and coordinate technical activities and resolve technical issues

2. A documented plan is used to communicate intergroup commitments and to coordinate and track the work performed

3. Critical dependencies between engineering groups are identified, negotiated, and tracked according to a documented procedure. Representatives of the project team conduct periodic technical reviews and interchanges
