The Software Development Plan (SDP) is a composite document which contains all the information necessary to control the project. The information is included directly in the content of the SDP, or by reference to other specifications or plans.
In this activity the project manager coordinates the development of all the content of the SDP and compiles it into the master SDP document for publication.
In this step the project manager makes sure the content sections of the SDP document have been completed to the level of detail appropriate for the current point in the project. Early in the Inception Phase, the information included will be fairly high-level and coarse grained. By the end of the Elaboration Phase the content of the SDP should be very detailed. The majority of this information is developed in the following artifacts and activities:
In most medium and large sized projects, a number of other project management plans are developed covering metrics, requirements, risk, problem/change management etc. In smaller projects, these plans may be written directly into the SDP. If these plans are created separately, they are enclosed in the SDP by reference.
In this step the project manager ensures these associated plans have been prepared, and that they are properly referenced and attached to the SDP document. Typically these enclosed plans are the following:
The SDP also encloses a number of other plans describing project standards and how various supporting processes (for example, configuration management) are to be handled. These plans are the responsibility of other roles in the Rational Unified Process. In this step the project manager coordinates the schedule for developing these supporting plans with the responsible roles, and integrates these plans into the SDP when they are completed.
