 Reviews and milestones (detailed architecture definition 
stage)
The CDR should be conducted for the purpose of describing the software physi-
cal architecture. The purpose of the CDR is to substantiate that the functional and 
physical architectures are complete, consistent, and will satisfy the specific software 
requirements. A typical agenda for the CDR should address the following topics:
1.
  Critical Design Review—Overview
1.1.
 Requirements Baseline and Outstanding Change Proposal Status
1.2.
  Functional Architecture Status
1.3.
  Physical Architecture Status
1.4.
 Key Trade-off Analysis, Results, Decisions, and Rationale
1.5.
 Structural Unit Requirements Traceability
1.6.
 Software Integration Strategy
1.7.
 Technical Data Package Status
2.
  Software Implementation
