Template for a Software Maintenance Plan - Fifth Edition

A Maintenance Plan is a document setting out the specific maintenance practices, resources, and sequence of activities relevant to maintaining a software product. This document contains template-driven text that enables software professionals at all levels to produce a software maintenance plan that is effective, and standards-compliant. The template-driven text conforms to software maintenance plan requirements and specified in standard such as “ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017,” and “ISO/IEC/IEEE 14764:2021.”

Informative and adaptable text eases the implementation and communication of software maintenance plans, processes, and work products. In particular this template contains generic sub templates for:

• Maintenance Strategy
• Scope of Maintenance
• Maintenance Organization
• The Maintenance Process
• Pre-Delivery and Post-Delivery Maintenance Activities
• Resources
• Maintenance Cost Estimate
• Training Requirements
• Maintenance Records and Reports
• Sample Modification Request Form

These templates provide generic descriptions and instructions that are compliant with the standard(s) listed above and provide a structure within which you can include detailed project-specific information. Once tailored, the template becomes a “Total” plan that allows implementation of software maintenance plan compliant with both widely used standards and project-specific requirements.

This template is available in PDF or word format. The latter format allows you to tailor the plan to your business case or the media that your organization wants to use the template for.

The template comes with 4 hours of free consultation, from experts that have firsthand knowledge of the subject, to answer questions on the template and is valid for 60 days after purchase of the product.
