Abstract:

This document describes a Software Process Framework SPF based on the Software Engineering Institutes SEI Capability Maturity Model CMM for the Repeatable Level Level 2. The purpose of the SPF is to provide guidance for designing, analyzing, and reviewing software processes consisting of standards, processes, procedures, training, and tools so that they are consistent with the CMM. As a thesaurus is a companion book to a dictionary both are useful for different purposes the SPF is a companion guide to the CMM for defining software processes. For each key process area in the CMM, the SPF defines roles, entry and exit criteria, inputs and outputs, activities, reviews and audits, measurements, etc. This information can also be used to help build process models and process guides that are consistent with the CMM. The primary audiences of the SPF are software engineering process groups SEPGs, process engineers, process action teams, and software quality assurance groups. Secondary audiences include anyone interested in software process improvement, or anyone using the CMM....
