Abstract: The process of designing and developing a software project is facilitated with one or more of multiple exemplary data structures. These exemplary data structures facilitate interaction among team members from one or more teams selected from those of an exemplary team model and across process phases of two or more process phases selected from those of an exemplary process model. Moreover, the exemplary data structures facilitate implementation of and adherence to (i) an exemplary risk management discipline and process and (ii) an exemplary readiness management discipline and process. These exemplary data structures include, but are not limited to, a milestone review data structure, a team lead project progress data structures, a vision/scope data structure, a project structure data structure, a team member project progress data structure, a master project plan data structure, a training plan data structure, a functional specification data structure, and a post project analysis data structure.
