ISO/IEC 12207:2017 "System and Software Engineering - Software Life Cycle Processes" is often confusing and laborious. This is because directions contained in the standard can seem unclear or ambiguous therefore the experts at SEPT have produced a checklist. This checklist was prepared by analyzing each clause in ISO/IEC 12207 for key words that signify a required policy, procedure, plan, record, document, audit, or review. The resulting checklist then provides an easy-to-use categorized list of physical evidence against which you can audit your work products to help insure conformance with ISO/IEC 12207. To better understand this model a user of this product should understand SEPT definition of an auditor. An auditor can be your boss, an inside auditor or an outside auditor such as the FDA, DoD or a prime contractor for your product. The checklist will give the auditor and you a common reference point in the standard (Clause number) that becomes the index point for physical evidence. If a standard calls out physical evidence more than once , such as a "training plan" it is always index to the first clause that reference the training plan This method will allow you to organize you physical evidence in a systematic manner for presentation to the auditor. This simple checklist allows you to bring the document down to simple terms that a professional lay person can understand (policy, procedure, plans, records, documents, audits and reviews). The checklist will allow the organization to divide the compliance activity into manageable work packages such as procedures, plans, documents etc. The checklist is available in PDF or word format. The latter format allows you to tailor the document to your business case or the media that your organization wants to use the checklist in such as excel web page format or any other end product type in order to meet compliance with the standard in the most efficient way possible.
