Project Planning - Outline of Processes done in COMP3710 Linked to Resources

This document attempts to relate the student deliverables and tutorial activities with the Project Mangement Processes that you are learning as developed in the CMMI model. In particular it aims to provide some focus for the Project Status Review and the Project review Report. These reports can deal with some of the issues raised in this outline.
