Scope
This guide prescribes the format and contents of the concept of operations (ConOps) document. A ConOps is a user- oriented document that describes system characteristics of the to-be-delivered system from the userapos;s viewpoint. The ConOps document is used to communicate overall quantitative and qualitative system characteristics to the user@ buyer@ developer@ and other organizational elements (e.g.@ training@ facilities@ staffng@ and maintenance). It describes the user organization(s)@ mission(s)@ and organizational objectives from an integrated systems point of view. This guide may be applied to all types of software-intensive systems: software-only or software/hardware/people systems. The concepts embodied in this guide could also be used for hardware-only systems@ but this mode of use is not addressed herein. The size@ scope@ complexity@ or criticality of the software product does not restrict use of this guide. This guide is applicable to systems that will be implemented in all forms of product media@ including firmware@ embedded systems code@ programmable logic arrays@ and software-in-silicon. This guide can be applied to any and all segments of a system life cycle. This guide identifies the minimal set of elements that should appear in all ConOps documents. However@ users of this guide may incorporate other elements by appending additional clauses or subclauses to their ConOps documents. In any case@ the numbering scheme of the required clauses and subclauses should adhere to the format specified in this guide. Various clauses and subclauses of a ConOps document may be included by direct incorporation or by reference to other supporting documents.
