 SP 2.3 Evaluate Selected Supplier Work Products
Process AreaSAM
Level2
GoalSG 2
PracticeSP 2.3

Select and evaluate work products from the supplier of custom-made products.

The scope of this specific practice is limited to suppliers providing the project with custom-made products, particularly those that present some risk to the program due to complexity or criticality. The intent of this specific practice is to evaluate selected work products produced by the supplier to help detect issues as early as possible that may affect the supplier's ability to satisfy the requirements of the agreement. The work products selected for evaluation should include critical products, product components, and work products that provide insight into quality issues as early as possible.

Typical Work Products

1.    List of work products selected for monitoring or rationale for non-selection

2.    Activity reports

3.    Discrepancy reports

Subpractices

1.    Identify those work products that are critical to the success of the project and that should be evaluated to help detect issues early.

Examples of work products that may be critical to the success of the project include the following:

·   Requirements

·   Analyses

·   Architecture

·   Documentation

  

2.    Evaluate the selected work products.

Work products are evaluated to ensure the following:

·   Derived requirements are traceable to higher level requirements

·   The architecture is feasible and will satisfy future product growth and reuse needs.

·   Documentation that will be used to operate and to support the product is adequate.

·   Work products are consistent with one another.

·   Products and product components (e.g., custom-made, off-the-shelf, and customer-supplied products) can be integrated.

3.    Determine and document actions needed to address deficiencies identified in the evaluations.

Refer to the Project Monitoring and Control process area for more information about taking corrective action.
