RMS Policies
Each CORE process represented by
process flows, task descriptors, and
storyboards.
Combination of the six Core
processes must be fully CMMI
and ISO compliant.

Core Supporting Processes
Enablers (e.g., checklists, templates, tools, training, examples, etc.) support both the Core and the Methods
GUIDANCE
Methods
Methods help plan and execute tasks or sets of tasks. They describe preferred, discipline-specific ways of doing things.
Six
CORE
Processes
What processes will be used, modified, or added. What products will be included. Selection of appropriate methods.
