It is a common practice to refer to applicable documents in both programmatic and product‐specification documents in contracted development. The practice permits inclusion of a vast amount of lessons‐learned and Government and commercial standards and best practices that can be referenced without the need to include the information directly in the document, or to maintain the referenced information. Product requirements documents often specify interfaces and interoperability characteristics by reference to interface control documents included in the list of applicable documents. Benefits accruing to the product from the use of applicable documents are reduced overall cost, better products and better interoperability. Costs accruing to the product development effort are the cost of maintaining visibility on changes to applicable documents outside the control of the Program and the cost of verification of all included requirements.
