Software Engineering

Participate in the SWE-IPT.
 The senior representatives of the post-development 
process organization should participate in the SWE-IPT to contribute to making 
favorable architectural decisions. The representatives from the post-development 
process organization bring their knowledge of software replication, distribution, 
training, and customer and software support challenges to the SWE-IPT.
2. 
Identify post-development process implementation challenges, constraints, and 
risks.
 Representatives of the post-development process organization should 
identify implementation challenges, constraints, and risks associated with align-
ing the post-development processes with the requirement baseline and func-
tional architecture.
3. 
Prepare the preliminary post-development process implementation plan
. 
Representatives of the post-development process organization should prepare 
the post-development process implementation plan. This plan must identify the 
post-development implementation tasks, work packages, and schedule mile-
stones for establishing and qualifying the distribution, training, and software 
sustainment processes. This plan will not have the requisite clarity necessary 
to be executable due to the amorphous state of the structural configuration. 
However, it should provide a more accurate forecast of the anticipated workload 
than previous versions of the plan.
