About This Item
IEEE 1058.1-1987 is a software project management plans standard that defines a structured way to prepare and review project plans for software work. In the context of Components, Circuits, Devices and Systems, it is useful where software deliverables support engineered products and controlled development processes. IEEE 1058.1-1987 helps teams document scope, responsibilities, scheduling, and management controls so project expectations are clearer and easier to track.
Overview of IEEE 1058.1-1987
This standard focuses on the content and organization of a software project management plan, giving projects a consistent framework for planning and oversight. It is typically relevant when software development must be managed with defined milestones, resources, and review points. As a technical document, IEEE 1058.1-1987 supports disciplined project definition and helps align management, engineering, and delivery activities around the same plan.
Typical use cases
IEEE 1058.1-1987 is commonly used when software is part of a larger engineered system, such as control software, device-support tools, or system integration projects. It may guide planning for development teams working on components, circuits, devices, and related system functions where schedule control and documented responsibilities matter. The standard is also relevant for procurement or contract work that requires a defined project management plan before implementation begins.
Why it matters
Using IEEE 1058.1-1987 can improve consistency in how software projects are planned, reviewed, and managed. A clear management plan supports better coordination, reduces ambiguity around tasks and deliverables, and can lower project risk. For organizations handling technical systems, the standard may also help with compliance expectations, internal control, and traceability across development and verification activities. That makes it valuable when repeatable project governance is important.
