It is helpful to compare your process against some standard such as the IBM Rational Unified Process, individual
practices from the IBM Practice Library or to an improvement approach such as CMMI for Development. This can help you
identify any gaps or areas of insufficient coverage. However, it is important to avoid implementing process
improvements just to cover gaps. Confirm there is an organizational need (the process will help you achieve some
operational objective) before implementing process improvements.
The following guidelines provide considerations for key process areas of software delivery. They will help you define
practices (process assets) for your organization that are aligned with industry best practices and improvement
models
