The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has undergone a software process improvement effort over the past several years. This article describes the software development processes that one project used to satisfy the goals and practices of a leading software process standard. It also identifies the impact of a higher level of software development maturity on the project's software engineering and assurance activities.
