CFR Title: 

Content:
outputs from each activity and each task should be provided, and the destination of those outputs should be identified. The SDP should include a review at the end of each life cycle activity. Reports on the technical development work should be described. RG 1.173 describes acceptable methods for defining the inputs and outputs of the life cycle activities. Schedule concerns a project schedule. The SDP should identify key work packages, milestones and hold points. Sufficient intermediate milestones should be identified to avoid unexpected schedule delays. Reviews and audits should be included in the schedule as project milestones. The schedule should justify the time anticipated to complete each task. A single schedule that includes both management and technical activities is acceptable. B.3.1.2.3 Resource Characteristics of the SDP The resource characteristics that the SDP should exhibit include methods/tools and standards. Methods/tools involve a description of the software development methods, techniques and tools to be used. The approach to be followed for reusing software should be described. The SDP should identify suitable facilities, tools and aids to facilitate the production, management and publication of appropriate and consistent documentation and for the development of the software. It should describe the software development environment, including software design aids, compilers, loaders, and subroutine libraries. The SDP should require that tools be qualified with a degree of rigor and level of detail appropriate to the safety significance of the software which is to be developed using the tools. Methods, techniques and tools that produce results that cannot be verified or that are not compatible with safety requirements should be prohibited, unless analysis shows that the alternative would be less safe. Standards refers to a list the international, national, industry, and company standards and guidelines (including RGs) to be followed in the project.
