The software engineering process group (SEPG) of Raytheon Electronic Systems (RES) is responsible for defining and implementing the Software Engineering Initiative, which outlines the policies, practices, and procedures to be followed in developing complex software for large-scale commercial and defense projects. To accomplish these objectives, the SEPG has had to develop the organizational structure and techniques to meet the growing challenges of developing, maintaining, and improving its software engineering process in significant and measurable ways, including quantifying return on investment (ROI) and increasing the quality of the deliverable product.
