JPL-D-15378, THE JPL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS DESCRIPTION (REV. D) (15 NOV 1999)., This description of JPL’s Software Development Process Description (SDPD) contains general
requirements, guidelines, and suggestions for defining and managing a software-intensive project1,
project element, or task consistent with ISO 9001, as interpreted by ISO 9000-3, “Quality
Management and Quality Assurance Standards — Part 3: Guidelines for the Application of 9001
to the Development, Maintenance, and Supply of Software.” The SDPD is consistent with NASA
Policy Directive (NPD) 2820.1, NASA Software Policies, which identifies compliance with
ISO 9001 (as described in 9000-3) as acceptable evidence that this policy directive has been
implemented.
