Abstract

Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) offers a means to evaluate an organization's software process capability—that is, how well an organization manages the process it used to create software. SCE provides a way to compare an offeror's software capability against a predefined standard. This document is an implementation guide: it is intended as a set of practical information which program managers can use to guide them through the process of using SCE in an acquisition.
