A lot of really important work was done at SEL and they kept meticulous records on how they did the work and what worked for them.
The old-school, pre-Agile Manifesto stuff isn't a perfect match for how most teams like to work today, but it's still full of wisdom and deep knowledge. A lot of it grew out of aerospace and defence projects, which is why there is such a heavy emphasis on planning and control to cope with complexity. These days the SEI is probably the home of that strand of software engineering thought.
