Processes that are not documented, will lead to a different project. ? Process is a property for the pany and it must be a secret for that pany. ? Software project needs a documented process, that made by all of the members of the team. ? Process must be assessed from time to time (quality assurance), by different tools, measures, and different types of inputs. ?
