1. A computer-implemented method for inducting a software project into a software factory, wherein an induction process identifies what processes and sub-processes are needed to create the software factory, and wherein the induction process identifies potential risks to the software factory, the computer-implemented method comprising:

  • submitting a factory project proposal to a service definition process, wherein the factory project proposal is derived from a candidate software project;

    creating a service definition template from a compilation of selected checklists, wherein the selected checklists are selected based on a heuristic selection process that is based on a history of similarly described factory project proposals;

    scoring and classifying the service definition template to determine if the candidate project may be executed in the software factory;

    in response to the service definition template scoring above a pre-determined acceptable score, transmitting the factory project proposal to a service induction process, wherein the service induction process pre-qualifies the candidate software project for execution in the software factory;

    in response to the candidate software project passing the service induction process, performing a final review process on the candidate project; and

    in response to the candidate project passing the final review process, transmitting the candidate project to the software factory for execution.
