Project Selection: 

The first step will be to select an organization as the target  for your software assurance guidelines document. This organization will  be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course  and should conform to the following guidelines:

• Nontrivial: The selected organization should be  large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the software assurance  guidelines planning process. 
• Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar  enough with the organization to allow you to focus on the planning tasks  without significant time required for domain education. 
• Accessibility: You should have access to the  people and other information related to the organization. This will be  an important part of the planning process. 

The selected organization may already have software assurance  guidelines in place and still be used as the basis for the projects in  this course. The selected organization must produce software  applications for the government, and is therefore subject to software  assurance requirements. It is understood that such an organization may  not be readily accessible. Therefore, you may feel free to identify a  hypothetical organization that meets the requirements. Any necessary  assumptions may be made to fulfill the requirements of organization  selection. 

Select an existing organization, or identify a hypothetical  organization that fits the requirements listed above. Submit your  proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the  assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first  several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit  this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment:

For the assignments in this course, you will not be implementing any  software assurance policies or procedures. You will be developing a  comprehensive software assurance guidelines document. Your first task in  this process will be to select an organization (or identify a  hypothetical organization) to use as the basis of your projects. You  will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable  that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through  each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final  document to gradually complete the final project deliverable.  Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of  your guideline document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.
