select a hypothetical organization and software category for your Software Development Process Improvement Plan. Examples would be a company that develops its own software for internal use, a company that develops software for external sale, or a company that provides contractual software development. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The selected organization should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the software development processes you will identify.
Domain knowledge: You should be familiar with the organization or software category to allow focus on the software development processes without significant time required for domain education.
Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the organization or software category because this will be an important part of the process improvement.
Select an organization and software category that fits these requirements, and then submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
