Overview
Title:  Open Systems Management Plan (OSMP)
Scope:  The essence of Open Systems Architecture (OSA) is organized decomposition, using carefully defined execution boundaries, layered onto a framework of software and hardware shared services and a vibrant business model that facilitates competition. An Open Systems Management Plan (OSMP) describes the developer’s Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) to implement an OSA. The OSMP includes a developer’s plans for a modular, open architecture, to include: use of open standards, data models, and tools; design and management of, and dependencies between, Configuration Items (CIs); design information documentation; technology insertion; life cycle sustainability; treatment of proprietary or vendor-unique elements; and reuse of existing items. The OSMP includes a support plan addressing the five (5) Principles of MOSA: 1. Establish Enabling Environment, 2. Employ Modular Design, 3. Designate Key Interfaces, 4. Use Open Standards, and 5. Certify Conformance. The OSMP provides visibility into the developers’ MOSA and implementation.
