In a pilot process improvement program to move from CMM level 3 to level 5, a Raytheon group working on real-time embedded software decided to focus on Cleanroom software engineering technology. The article shares the group's encouraging lessons learned from tailoring Cleanroom to their specific needs. Oshana provides evidence to support their claims of success, but cautions readers who want to employ the same approach to their own organizations because concerns, issues, and barriers do exist.
