Abstract Every software development program must have a Software Development Plan (SDP). The SDP is required by the software development standards, it is prepared by the contractor, and it is usually submitted with their proposal. The SDP is the vehicle by which the contractor, responsible for software development, documents how the software will be designed, developed, integrated, tested and managed. The principal objectives of this SDP Guidebook are to: (1) Assist the acquisition agency in evaluating SDPs during source selection and during subsequent update deliveries; (2) Provide guidance to contractors in developing and updating their SDP; and (3) provide a convenient source of reference, during conduct of a software development program, documenting the systematic steps of the process during the full software development life cycle. The Guidebook contains examples and recommended contents of a program- level SDP for large software development efforts.
