The Balloted Product Development and Support Process (BPDSP), approved by EXCOM on January 8th, 2008, provides direction on the development of SISO balloted products. It does not cover non-balloted products. This Process manages the development of standards according the SISO Policies and Procedures (P&P) and provides specific SAC guidance.
 
Input from a broad range of experts has gone into the implmentation of this process:

  • Current and past SAC members
  • HLA developers
  • RPR FOM PDG
  • FEDEP PDG
  • SEDRIS PDGs

The image to the right depicts the flow of the , initiated with a product nomination, as well as the specific expected output for individual step milestones. Each step of the process is outline and illustrated below to walk through the activities conducted and describe the output required. Templates referenced in the steps are available to users in the Digital Library. The following section begins the walk through of the process by providing an overview of the roles and responsibilities associated with the activities in each step.

Balloted Products

Balloted Products have different development and support process than non-balloted products. Balloted Products are:

This process is called the Balloted Products Development and Support Process (BPDSP) and includes the Six-Step Process. Approved by EXCOM on January 8th, 2008, it provides direction on the development of SISO balloted products. It does not cover non-balloted products. It builds on SISO Policies and Procedures and provides specific SAC guidance.
 
Input from a broad range of experts has gone into the implementation of this process:

  • Current and past SAC members
  • HLA developers
  • RPR FOM PDG
  • FEDEP PDG
  • SEDRIS PDGs
The BPDSP Document

A comprehensive overview of the BPDSP can be found in Administrative Document SISO-ADM-003-2011.

This document provides direction on the development of SISO balloted products or SISO sponsored balloted products (e.g. IEEE Standards sponsored by SISO) by providing step-by-step support and implementation guidance to the audience tasked with executing this process. Documented implementation procedures and user templates also ensure that the process can be consistently applied without unnecessary multiple interpretations of the P&P guidance. Templates referenced in the steps are available to users in the appendix of this document.
