POAM

Full Title

Plan of Action and Milestones

Context

• NIST defined the term from several of their special publications and it is widely adopted across the US Federal Government for showing compliance.

Problems

• This appears indistinguishable from a bug list in program development.

Solution

Just names, whatever.

• A POAM NIST template is included in several DFARS template packages. CKSS has compiled a suite of DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance templates to help DOD contractors get a jumpstart on their remediation activities as well as ensure continued compliance.
