In addition to the description of
the individual phases, stdSEM also deals with phase-neutral
themes (i.e. themes which apply to
all phases and which are separate from the
descriptions of the individual phases). The
configuration management and reuse themes have
been given greater importance in stdSEM than they
had in SEM V 3.0 What is more, in each phase
the important activities connected with these
phase-neutral themes and areas of responsibility
are grouped together.

PM |
Project management
PM covers the key areas of project planning,
project checks and project control (effort,
deadlines, milestones, etc.). Further important
themes include the processing of tenders and
commissioning, the commissioning of
subcontractors and the procurement of hardware
and software. |
QA |
Quality assurance
Quality assurance encompasses all measures for
planning and ensuring that the defined product
quality is reached. These measures include
reviews of documents, tests and checks of
client-supplied products. The early detection and
identification of problems (quality reporting) is
attached particular importance so that
appropriate measures can be taken as quickly as
possible. |
CM |
Configuration management
CM encompasses all tasks related to the orderly
management of all results which occur and the
items which are required in this regard
(management of documents, sources, program
components, error messages, etc.). |
RR |
Reuse and
reusability
Reuse can cut project costs considerably. It
involves not only the reuse of product parts, but
also methods, tools, designs, documents, data and
all forms of project experiences. While making
these product parts reusable does involve greater
effort in the immediate term, careful planning
and use pays dividends in the long run. |
