	Assessing the Project Plan The intent of this checklist is to assess the completeness of the Software Project Plan (SEPA 5/e, Part Two). The more questions that elicit a negative response, the higher the risk that the Plan is incomplete. Is the statement of scope accurate and consistent with the needs of the customer? Is the statement of scope bounded? Are the software functions noted consistent with the scope? Is software performance and behavior addressed within the statement of scope? Are constraints that will affect the product or the project noted and described? Are estimates developed reasonably (see Checklist: Cost Estimates and Schedule) Have all required resources including hardware, software, tools, people, and others been fully described? Have all project risks been fully described: (see Checklist: Airlie Project Quicklook and Checklist: Risk Analysis) Has a risk table been developed? (see Checklist: Risk Analysis) Has a Risk Mitigation, Monitoring, and Management Plan been developed? (see Checklist: Risk Analysis) Is the project schedule developed reasonably (see Checklist: Cost Estimates and Schedule) Is the project team staffed and organized appropriately (see Checklist: Building an Effective Software Engineering Team) Has an SQA Plan been developed for this project? (see Checklist: Assessing the SQA Process) Has an SCM Plan been developed for this project? (see Checklist: Assessing the SCM Process) Return to Checklist Table of Contents
