Raytheon Goals
Process Improvement motivated a
reemphasis on measures
The process improvement goal was to
improve business performance
Improve how Systems Engineering is
done (better products with best
practices)
Improve win rates (better proposals, better predictions)
Improve productivity (better execution, less rework)
Institutionalize EIA/IS-731 “Level
3”
We looked ahead to CMMI,
anticipating measures for incremental builds
SW CMM Level 3
EIA/IS-731 “Level 3” following SW by
only a few months
Integrating toward CMMI Level 3 (and
beyond)
We wanted measures to grew
naturally from existing reports and methods
Earned value procedures and concepts
were in place and accepted
Functional managers were available
as advocates and agents for change
Institutional goals were addressed
ahead of project-specific measurement applications
SE and SW were coordinated, but not
unified, in their measurement approaches
We expected to learn lessons and
apply them
