Practical Support for Lean Six Sigma Software Process Definition: Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards addresses the task of meeting the specific documentation requirements in support of Lean Six Sigma. This book provides a set of templates supporting the documentation required for basic software project control and management and covers the integration of these templates for their entire product development life cycle. Find detailed documentation guidance in the form of organizational policy descriptions, integrated set of deployable document templates, artifacts required in support of assessment, organizational delineation of process documentation.

Software process definition, documentation, and improvement should be an integral part of every software engineering organization. This book addresses the specific documentation requirements in support of the CMMI-SW[registered] by providing detailed documentation guidance in the form of: detailed organizational policy examples; an integrated set of over 20 deployable document templates; examples of over 50 common work products required in support of assessment activities; and examples of organizational delineation of process documentation.This book provides a set of IEEE Software Engineering Standards-based templates that support the documentation required for all activities associated with software development projects. The goal is to provide practical support for individuals responsible for the development and documentation of software processes and procedures. The objective is to present the reader with an integrated set of documents that support the requirements of the CMMI-SW[registered] Levels 2 and 3.This book is meant to both complement and extend the information provided in Jumpstart CMM[registered]/CMMI[registered] Software Process Improvement using IEEE Software Engineering Standards.
Jumpstart provides a detailed mapping of both the CMM[registered] and the CMMI-SW[registered] to the IEEE standards set and provides a logical basis for the material contained within this text. It is hoped that this book will provide specific support for organizations pursuing software process definition and improvement. For organizations that do not wish to pursue CMMI[registered] accreditation, this document will show how the application of IEEE Standards can facilitate the development of sound software engineering practices. It also comes with a CD-Rom.

* This book addresses how to meet the specific documentation requirements in support of the ISO 9001 software process definition, documentation, and improvement, which is an integral part of every software engineering effort * Provides a set of templates that support the documentation required for basic software project control and management * The book provides specific support for organizations that are pursuing software process improvement efforts

This book provides invaluable guidance on moving an organization from the chaotic environment of free-form software development towards a more controlled and documented process. It discusses how IEEE standards may be used to facilitate the development of internal plans and procedures in support of repeatable software engineering processes, or in achiving CMM/CMMI-SW Level 2.
