1.2.1. External documents

Define the list of all applicable documents of external origin, relevant for this
project.

1.2.2. Internal documents

Define the list of all applicable documents of internal origin, relevant for this project.

1.3. Part Number and Nomenclature

2. Define the details of all software components having unique part number and nomenclature to
identify them through the software development life cycle.

2.1. Acronyms and Abbreviations

Define all the abbreviations and acronyms with their expanded names in this section.

4. SCM Activities
Define description of the SCM process activities in the software life cycle:

4.1. Configuration Identification

Items to be identified, when they will be identified, the identification methods for
software life cycle data (for example, part numbering), and the relationship of software
identification and airborne system or equipment identification.<Define process
Activities as per Sec 7.2.1>
4.2. Baselines and Traceability
The means of establishing baselines, what baselines will be established, when these
baselines will be established, the software library controls, and the configuration item
and baseline traceability.<Define process Activities as per Sec 7.2.2>
4.3. Problem Reporting
The content and identification of problem reports for the software product and
software life cycle processes, when they will be written, the method of closing problem
reports, and the relationship to the change control activity.<Define process Activities as
per Sec 7.2.3>
4.4. Change Control
Configuration items and baselines to be controlled, when they will be controlled, the
problem/change control activities that control them, pre-certification controls, post-
certification controls, and the means of preserving the integrity of baselines and
configuration items.<Define process Activities as per Sec 7.2.4>
4.5. Change Review
The method of handling feedback from and to the software life cycle processes; the
methods of assessing and prioritizing problems, approving changes, and handling their
resolution or change implementation; and the relationship of these methods to the
problem reporting and change control activities.<Define process Activities as per Sec
7.2.5>
4.6. Configuration Status Accounting
The data to be recorded to enable reporting configuration management status,
definition of where that data will be kept, how it will be retrieved for reporting, and
when it will be available.<Define process Activities as per Sec 7.2.6>

addressing sections 11.4.b.1 through 11.4.b.7. This includes control of tools to be
qualified. <Define process Activities as per Sec 7.5>

4.10. Software Life Cycle Data Controls

Description of access and change Controls associated with Control Category 1 and
Control Category 2 data.<Define process Activities as per Sec 7.3>

5. Transition Criteria
Define the transition criteria for entering and the exit from the SCM process.

6. SCM data
A definition of the software life cycle data produced by the SCM process, including SCM
Records, the Software Configuration Index and the Software Life Cycle Environment
Configuration Index.

7. Supplier Control
Define the means of applying SCM process requirements to sub-tier suppliers (if
applicable)
