Software Engineering

Participate in the SWE-IPT
. The senior representatives of the software imple-
mentation organization should participate in the SWE-IPT to contribute to 
making favorable architectural decisions. Representatives from software imple-
mentation bring their knowledge of the implementation languages, design pat-
terns, and software implementation challenges to the SWE-IPT.
2. 
Identify software implementation challenges, constraints, feasibility, and risks
. 
Representatives of the software implementation organization should identify 
implementation challenges, constraints, and risks associated with their compre-
hension of the functional architecture and its influence on the software imple-
mentation effort.
3. 
Prepare the preliminary software implementation plan
. The software implementa-
tion organization should prepare the preliminary software implementation plan 
to reflect the insight obtained during the preliminary architecture definition stage. 
This plan must identify the software implementation tasks, work packages, and 
schedule milestones for accomplishing the software implementation effort. This 
plan will not have the requisite clarity necessary to be executable due to the amor-
phous state of the structural configuration. However, it should provide a more 
accurate forecast of the anticipated workload than previous versions of the plan.
