Practical Adoption of ECSS-E-ST-40C for Project Managers

Strict compliance with the ECSS software standards in ESA-sponsored projects turns into much more ad-hoc adoption of the standards in the commercial sphere. The commercial Space sector is much more focused on the balance of cost and quality than government projects.

Each of the seven focus points of this Whitepaper brings along actionable advice for Project Managers and Quality Assurance staff:

•   How to use compliance with the ECSS-E-ST-40C to build customers’ trust in your product?
•   Which parts of ECSS-E-ST-40C to choose in the commercial Space sector and why?
•   Which other processes must be in place to maximize the benefits of adopting ECSS-E-ST-40C?
•   How to tailor ECSS software standards to match your current way of working?
•   How to cooperate in non-EU projects with other software standards (NASA, JAXA, etc.)?
•   Why adopting ECSS software standards will make your projects predictable and efficient. Busting the myth of cost and time increase by adopting the standards.
•   How to use ECSS-E-ST-40C to maximize in and out project communication? De-risk your project by efficient communication via structured documents.
