Participate in the SWE-IPT
. Senior representatives of the software post-
development process organization should participate in the SWE-IPT to con-
tribute to making constructive software requirements specifications decisions. 
Representatives from software post-development process areas bring their 
knowledge of the software replication, distribution, training and sustainment 
technologies, procedures, and challenges to the SWE-IPT.
2. 
Identify software post-development process implementation challenges, con-
straints, feasibility, and risks
. Representatives of the software post-development 
process organization should identify challenges, constraints, and risks associ-
ated with the post-development process concepts. Representatives of the soft-
ware post-development process organization are essential to ensuring that the

requirements specified for the software product and sustainment environment do 
not constrain the post-development processes.
3. 
Prepare the software post-development process concepts. Representatives of the 
software post-development process organization should develop the concept of 
operations (CONOPs) documents, which must be prepared to express the ini-
tial scope and requirements for each of the process areas. The CONOPs should 
identify any unique tools, equipment, facilities, or materials necessary to sup-
port these processes.
