Major Elements of SPMP
Usually completed from a template such as that described by IEEE 1058,"Standard for Software Project Management Plans," the SPMP
describes the how of the project processes discussed earlier in this chapter.1—1 It describes how the project team will implement the life cycle software development processes of the chosen life cycle.
The project charter information is integrated into appropriate sections of the SPMP. The rest of the document contains sections that include
® Project overview and deliverables
® Project organization
® Managerial processes
® Technical processes
® Work packages, schedule, and budget
Other chapters in this book provide details about how to identify and represent the information necessary to complete an SPMP. The depth and breadth of the coverage for each section is a matter of judgment according the type and scope of the project. When completed and approved, the SPMP becomes the benchmark for controlling the project during execution (the do it step).
