Software Engineering

5.1.7 
Multidisciplinary teamwork
Conducting the software engineering practices expressed in this book requires the 
use of IPTs. The primary integrated product team is the SWE-IPT, which is respon-
sible for developing the software architecture. Additionally, four additional IPTs are 
identified that address software implementation, software test and evaluation, post-
development software sustainment processes, and project control. Each IPT should 
involve members whom advocate for stakeholder needs, as well as representatives 
from each of the technical organizations. Additional IPTs may be established by the 
project or SWE-IPT as deemed advantageous to achieving project objectives.
