DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION Title: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PLAN (SIP) Number: DI-IPSC-81428A Approval Date: 20000110 AMSC Number: N7373 Limitation: DTIC Applicable: GIDEP Applicable: Office of Primary Responsibility: N/SPAWAR Applicable Forms: Use, Relationships:

The Software Installation Plan (SIP) is a plan for installing software at user sites, including preparations, user training, and conversion from existing systems.

The SIP is developed when the developer will be involved in the installation of software at user sites and when the installation process will be sufficiently complex to require a documented plan. For software embedded in a hardware-software system, a fielding or deployment plan for the hardware-software system may make a separate SIP unnecessary.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the contract.

This DID is used when the developer is tasked to develop and record plans for performing software installation and training at user sites.

This DID supersedes DI-IPSC-81428.
