7.2.2.3   Cost associated with defining and establishing the post-
development processes
The integrated product and process development (IPPD) philosophy emphasizes the 
need to concurrently accomplish the efforts associated with establishing the post-
development processes. The software product should not be deployed unless the 
post-development processes have been defined, designed, implemented, and tested. 
These processes provide the infrastructure necessary to distribute the software prod-
uct, train users, and provide customer and software support. The software develop-
ment project should encompass the resources and management oversight necessary 
for the formulation of these essential software post-development processes.
