The Requirements & Design Documentation Evaluation Workshop presents a process and specific checklists for repeatable evaluation of DOD STD 2167A requirements documents. The Document Evaluation Guidelines used in the workshop as well as the workshop itself were developed for the F-22 program.

The workshop consists of a brief introduction to the theory of software supportability, DOD STD 2167A, and the process used by the documentation evaluation guidelines. The vast majority of the workshop is used applying the evaluation process and the guidelines to a document of the organization's choice.

The workshop is particularly relevant to organizations that are tasked to review DOD STD 2167A software requirements and design documents. The guidelines have been successfully used by the F22 project as well as others. Acquiring organizations use the guidelines as a formal procedure for grading submitted documents before acceptance. Developing organizations use the guidelines as checklists as a completeness check as well as a validation test before delivery.
