Software Requirement Specification

Although the IEEE is focused on systems type products, it is a go-to source for very detailed and well written standards and templates for any number of project and product level deliverables.

When I am looking for an engineering related template, I often search their content, find documents that cover the superset of every possible case, and then start paring it down to what I need. It helps prevent trying to reinvent the wheel, or miss items I would have overlooked.

They are often applicable to other product domains as well. While the technology may be different, a lot of the content is applicable generically even though it might be customized to a different context.

Keith,this is very interesting. Thank for you for the detailed explanation - Are all those templates available for free for public?
