As the number of iTCs grows, it has fallen on each iTC to figure out how to manage the process of creating and managing the process of creating the cPP and Supporting Documents. Even the processes for updates and technical decisions is new.
While there is no single "right way" to manage an iTC, the purpose of this WG and its repositories is to produce a set of guidance and templates that can be used to help iTCs perform these tasks using the knowledge and experience of those that have come before.
The home page for the group, which covers updates as well as the guidance documentation, is https://itc-wgtools.github.io.
This repository is focused on the documentation for the iTC itself, things like the Essential Security Requirements and the Terms of Reference. These are to help the iTC get up and running with templates for all the documents they need already in a usable format.
The cPP-Tools repository is the primary repository for the overall work being done by the WG, and the wiki there has a lot of supplemental information.
If you are interested in joining the Team Tools Working Group, please email "be.wood at samsung.com" with your GitHub ID.
Within each repository are a number of files being worked on. The following table is the list of the primary files being edited in cPP-Tools.
