MSFC-PLAN-3204B, MULTIPROGRAM/PROJECT COMMON-USE DOCUMENT: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENT PLAN (25 OCT 2004)

MSFC-PLAN-3204B, MULTIPROGRAM/PROJECT COMMON-USE DOCUMENT: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENT PLAN (25 OCT 2004)., The purpose of this plan is to define the implementation of the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) software development process improvement effort and to document how MSFC supports the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Software Engineering Initiative Implementation Plan. In compliance with the NASA Software Policies NPD 2820.1, a major benefit that MSFC derives from the implementation of this initiative is improved software development and acquisition processes enabling MSFC to develop and acquire higher quality software. A major focus of this effort is to improve the processes and practices in use at MSFC by continually measuring our level of maturity against the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model/ Capability Maturity Model-Integrated (CMM/CMMI). In accordance with MWI 7120.4, this document adheres to the mandatory template for a Multiprogram/Project Common-Use document. Sections 1 through 3 of the center plan required content as defined in Appendix C of the NASA Software Engineering Initiative Implementation Plan are addressed in Section 1.1, Section 1.2, and Section 1.3 of this plan, respectively.
