Milestone Review Process Asset Templates - Under Construction

(PAT-066 - )
PAT-066 - MCR - Mission Concept Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Focus on ensuring that the mission concept, including software objectives, scope, and feasibility, is well-defined, properly aligned with project goals, and ready to proceed to more detailed system and software requirements definition. The MCR evaluates the overall feasibility of achieving mission objectives and ensures that software elements are integrated into the early mission planning phase.
(PAT-067 - )
PAT-067 - SRR - Software Systems Requirements Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure that the software-related requirements derived from the system-level objectives are complete, consistent, achievable, and clearly documented. The SRR verifies that the software requirements align with mission objectives, system-level requirements, and stakeholder needs and provides a solid foundation for software design and development.
(PAT-068 - )
PAT-068 - SwRR - Software Requirements Review Milestone Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure that the software requirements for a project are fully defined, documented, traceable, and ready for the next phase of design and development. The SwRR verifies that the requirements align with mission objectives, system-level requirements, and stakeholder expectations. Meeting these criteria reduces the risk of design errors and ensures a solid foundation for software development
(PAT-069 - )
PAT-069 - MDR - Mission Definition Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Evaluate whether the mission's objectives, requirements, and system approach—including software-related aspects—are well-defined, achievable, and ready to proceed to detailed preliminary and system design. The MDR ensures that the foundational mission framework is established and that software considerations are integrated into the overall system design and management approach.
(PAT-070 - )
PAT-070 - SDR - Software System Design Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure that the software's high-level architectural design is well-defined, feasible, and aligned with system-level goals and requirements. The SDR verifies that the software design provides a solid architecture for implementation and that all risks, trade-offs, and requirements are carefully considered.
(PAT-071 - )
PAT-071 - PDR - Preliminary Design Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Demonstrates that the Preliminary Design meets all system requirements with acceptable risk and within the cost and schedule constraints and establishes the basis for proceeding with Detailed Design. It shows that the correct design option has been selected, interfaces have been identified, and verification methods have been described. Full baseline costs and schedules, as well as risk assessments, management systems, and metrics, are presented.
(PAT-072 - )
PAT-072 - CDR - Software Critical Design Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure the software design is mature, meets project requirements, and is ready to move into implementation and testing phases. These exit criteria serve to verify the completeness, correctness, and readiness of the software design while assessing risks before proceeding further.
(PAT-073 - )
PAT-073 - PRR - Software Production Readiness Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure that software development is complete, and the software is ready for release to begin production, deployment, or operational use. The PRR evaluates whether all components, processes, tests, and documentation are complete, consistent, and meet mission requirements. This review focuses on the readiness of the software for sustained operation or mass reproduction.
(PAT-074 - )
PAT-074 - SIR - Software Integration Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensuring that the software has been successfully integrated with its target system (e.g., hardware, other software components, or external interfaces) and is ready to proceed to verification testing or operational testing. The SIR evaluates the readiness and functionality of the integrated software in the context of the system or mission environment, highlighting any issues related to compatibility, interoperability, and performance.
(PAT-075 - )
PAT-075 - TRR - Software Test Readiness Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Conditions that must be met before software testing can begin. The TRR ensures that all preparations for testing—such as software, hardware, test environments, and documentation—are complete and that the team is ready to proceed with testing activities. The focus is on validating that the planned tests will address requirements, identify defects, and measure performance and functionality effectively.
(PAT-076 - )
PAT-076 - SAR - Software Acceptance Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Evaluate whether the developed software meets all requirements, complies with relevant standards, has been fully tested, and is ready for formal delivery to the customer or integration into the system. The SAR verifies that the software is complete, acceptable for operational use, and properly documented for transfer and support.
(PAT-077 - )
PAT-077 - ORR - Operational Readiness Milestone Review Checklist
Topic 7.09, Ensure that the software is tested, verified, validated, and ready for operational use in support of the mission or system. The ORR evaluates whether the software is capable of reliably performing its intended functions and interacting with hardware, systems, and operational environments, with all risks mitigated, documentation prepared, and users trained.
(PAT-078 - )PAT-078 - FRR - Software Flight Readiness Milestone Review ChecklistTopic 7.09, Focus on verifying that the software is ready for operational use in the mission or system it is part of. The FRR ensures that all critical aspects of the software, including testing, validation, and integration, have been successfully completed and that the software can safely and reliably perform its intended functions in the flight or operational environment.
