This paper describes some of the work products used or generated during the development of a software‐intensive system by integrated product teams (IPTs) working on the system elements. An information modeling approach represents the relationships among the information entities involved in the system‐level management, design, verification, integration, and testing activities: the model has been extended to the subsystem, configuration item, and component levels. The purpose of the information model is to provide developers with additional knowledge about the work products composing the information flows defined in a process model. This additional knowledge makes it easier to adopt the process model, tailor it for use on a project, and understand the roles of the IPTs and their members.
