The document discusses elements that should be included in development and quality plans for software projects. It provides details on what should be covered in each plan, including deliverables, milestones, risks, resources, and testing. The development plan should define project scope, schedule, roles and tasks, while the quality plan outlines goals, reviews, tests and configuration management. Both plans are major elements for meeting standards like ISO29110 and CMMI. The document uses examples to illustrate how elements in each plan can be specified, such as deliverables tables, review activities, and test cases.

19. The organization plan comprises:
 Organizational structure
 Professional requirements
 Number of team members required for each
period of time
 Names of team leaders and team members.

20. 
Required development facilities include
hardware, software and hardware
development tools, office space, and other
items.
For each facility, the period required for its
use should be indicated on the timetable.

21. 
Development risks are inherent in any
project. To understand their pervasiveness,
and how they can be controlled,

A development risk is “a state or property of a
development task or environment,
which, if ignored, will increase the likelihood
of project failure”

Table 6A.1.

23. 
In order to control project implementation,
the project manager and the department
management apply a series of monitoring
practices when preparing progress reports
and coordinating meetings.

24. 
Project cost estimates are based on proposal
costs estimates.

based on updated human resource estimates,
contracts negotiated with subcontractors
and suppliers, and so forth.

27. 
The term “quality goals” refers to the
developed software system’s substantive
quality requirements.

Quantitative measures are usually preferred
to qualitative measures when choosing
quality

28. 
HDS qualitative requirement
 The HDS should be user friendly
 Related quantitative quality goals
 A new help desk operator should be able to learn
the details of the HDS following a course lasting
less than 8 hours, and to master operation of the
HDS in less than 5 working days.

29. 

38. The development plan:
 Project products, indicating “deliverables”
 Project benchmarks
 Development risks
 Estimates of project costs
The quality plan:
 Quality goals

39. 
Project plan(+ quality goal) is major element
needed for ISO29110 standard.
 Activities relate to ISO29110 (example)
 The Project Plan for the execution of the
project is developed according to the
Statement of Work and reviewed and
accepted by the Customer. The tasks and
resources necessary to complete the work are
sized and estimated.
