The maintainer shall (ISO/IEC 12207 sub-clause 5.5.2.1) analyze the problem report or modification request for its impact on the organization, the existing system, and the interfacing systems for the following:

Instruction

Please follow all the sub task steps listed below and complete the survey associated with each of these task steps.

Sub task steps to be performed: Make sure to complete each of these surveys. (click on sub task-step links for the surveys)

a) Type; for example, corrective, improvement, preventive, or adaptive to new environment;
b) Scope; for example, size of modification, cost involved, time to modify;
c) Criticality; for example, impact on performance, safety, or security.

In order to ensure that the requested MR/PR is feasible, the maintainer should perform the following task-steps:

a) Determine if the maintainer is adequately staffed to implement the proposed modification.

b) Determine if the program is adequately budgeted to implement the proposed modification.

c) Determine if sufficient resources are available and whether this modification will affect ongoing or projected projects (may not be necessary for PRs).

d) Determine the operational issues to be considered. For example, what are the anticipated modifications to system interface requirements, the expected useful life of the system, the operational priorities, safety, and security, security impacts, if it is not implemented? (may not be necessary for PRs).

e) Determine handling priority.

f) Classify the type of maintenance.

g) Determine the impact to current and future users.

h) Determine safety and security implications (may not be necessary for PRs).

i) Identify ripple effects.

j) Evaluate any software or hardware constraints that may result from the modifications.

k) Determine short-term and long-term costs (may not be necessary for PRs).

l) Determine the value of the benefit of making the modification.

m) Determine the impact on existing schedules.

n) Document any project or software risks resulting from the impact analysis.

o) Determine the level of test and evaluation required.

p) Determine the estimated management cost to implement the modification (may not be necessary for PRs).

q) Place developed artifacts under CM.
