The size of the systems engineering book of knowledge is unknown, but continuously expanding! The systems and software standards are quagmires of legacy and evolution. Stacks of documents (books, standards, guidebooks, handbooks, papers, process manuals) relate to the subject of systems engineering and engineering management. Developing ‘best practices‘, from systems engineering bodies of knowledge (Beshore 2001), is critical to the future engineering success of large programs. The CMMI (CMMI) represents the latest internationally driven model requirements standard for systems engineering, software engineering and integrated product development. An automated method is presented in this paper to determine document relevance to any body of knowledge or sets of process or process assessment standards. Specific examples and uses of new tools have been used to improve documentation relevancy of Raytheon's IPDS (Integrated Product Development System) to the CMMI process requirements models. With this approach there is a way out of the document and standards quagmire through more focused process planning on programs.
