Abstract

Delco Systems Operations and Douglas Aircraft Company have been developing the over 300000 lines of Jovial software for Delco´s Mission Computer to be installed on the C-17 Aircraft. A comprehensive system has been developed to plan, control, and report on the software development for this large effort. A flexible relational database manager is being used to track scheduled and actually accomplished software design, code, and data statements distributed over up to three simultaneous release versions are monitored. Various reports, metrics, and indicators are described. Emphasis is placed on the teamwork and cultural changes that are essential to the successful implementation of the method
