noncompliant state. The deviations provide temporary authorization to deploy 
the software product with a commitment to resolve the problems with a future 
patch or release. Waivers are for situations where the software does not satisfy 
contractual or software requirements, and by waiving the requirement, the soft-
ware product can be deployed, as is, without a commitment to resolve the defi-
ciency in future patches or releases.
4. 
Definitive software DDP.
 The software DDP should contain the implementation 
artifacts that will permit the consideration of future extensions and enhance-
ments to the software architecture. The definitive software DDP should be 
accompanied with a list of all authorized changes assimilated into the software 
architecture and its design artifacts. There may be a separate software DDP for 
each software configuration item that comprise the software product.
●
 
Final software executables.
 The final software executables should be pre-
pared to establish a baseline for software replication and distribution.
●
 
Final software source files.
 The final set of source code files should be 
prepared to be incorporated into the software product baseline. A software 
bill of material (SBOM) should document each of the source code files that 
make up the final software product configuration.
●
 
Final build procedures.
 The final software build procedures should be docu-
mented to explain how the software executable files are generated. These 
procedures will be utilized by the software sustainment organization to gen-
erate patches or future releases of the software product.
●
 
Final architecture TDP.
 The updated software architecture artifacts (require-
ments baseline, functional and physical architectures, software nomenclature 
register, models, etc.) should be documented to provide a basis for post-
development sustainment and software product and process improvement.
5. 
Definitive post-development process DDPs.
 The final deployment data packages 
for each post-development process should reflect the arrangement and layout of 
the facility, equipment, workstations, communications, networking and equip-
ment connectivity, software tools and databases, etc. involved in facilitating 
each process. These DDPs provide the detailed design schematics and support 
documentation necessary to sustain each of the processes.
