Joint Technical and Management Review Process

Overview

The aim of the Joint Technical and Management Reviews (JTMR) Process is to define the "milestone" and other formally required reviews necessary for incremental payments and assurance for the software projects.

Joint Technical and Management Reviews will establish baselines and will include informal discussions of status, ideas, approaches, risks, etc.

It is the intention of this document to provide the performance requirements for all types of joint technical and management reviews. Planning and taking part in joint technical and management reviews with the acquirer is one of the ISO/IEC 12207/MIL-STD-498 software development activities. It is considered one of the integral processes that cut across the other activities in the standard. It is intended that the requirement for Technical and Management reviews can be performed at one review or incrementally to be identified as a Design Review and scheduled in the specific Software Development Plan (SDP).

Objectives of the Design review is to include providing the acquirer visibility into the project status, directions being taken, technical issues to be resolved, overall status of evolving software products, and obtaining commitments and acquirer approvals needed for timely accomplishment of the project. These reviews provide the acquirer and the developer insight into the needs and concerns each has regarding the project at a point in time.

This document has been prepared to meet ISO/IEC 12207/MIL-STD-498 and SEI "best practices".
