ISO/IEC 15288:2008 is a standard that establishes a common framework for describing the life cycle of systems created by humans. It defines a set of processes and associated terminology that can be applied at any level in a system's structure. Selected sets of these processes can be applied to manage and perform different stages within the system life cycle. ISO/IEC 15288:2008 and ISO/IEC 12207:2008 are harmonized for concurrent use on a single project or in a single organization.

Save money while achieving your customer satisfaction goals. These two standards (12207:2008 and 15288:2008) establish a common framework and terminology for system and software life cycle processes. They have been harmonized for concurrent use on a single project or in a single organization. Purchase these two standards as a set and save 5% !

This document provides guidance for writing a clear set of requirement specifications that, when realized, will satisfy an expressed need. Guidance is included for identifying, organizing, presenting and modifying requirements.

This bulletin was prepared in 1991 to provide a textbook for use teaching configuration control to undergraduates.

An early (1989) bulletin created by the Electronics Industry Alliance (EIA). The bulletin provided fundamental ideas about a successful systems engineering approach to systems development.

The purpose of this Standard is to provide an integrated set of fundamental processes to aid a developer in the engineering or re-engineering of a system.

This standard defines five CM functions and their underlying principles. The functions are detailed in Section 5. The principles, highlighted in text boxes, are designed to individually identify the essence of the related CM function, and can be used to collectively create a checklist of criteria to evaluate a CM program.

This guide describes the format and content of a concept of operations (ConOps) document for an information technology (IT) system. It describes how to communicate to users and other stakeholders:

• System quantitative and qualitative characteristics
• User interactions with the system
• Organization and individual interactions within the context of the system

This standard, which specifies the required content of a project management plan (PMP), is intended to help project managers successfully manage projects concerned with software-intensive systems or software products. The standard quotes purpose and outcome statements from ISO/IEC 12207 and 15288 processes, and adds detailed guidance for managing projects that use these processes.

ISO/IEC 15289:2006 was developed to assist users of systems and software life cycle processes manage information items. It is based on the life cycle processes specified in ISO/IEC 15288:2002 or ISO/IEC 12207:1995/AMD 1:2002/AMD 2. Information items are essential to preserving what transpired when using system life cycle processes, and may be identified as deliverable documents.

This standard may be applied to any of the activities and tasks of a project, system or software product, or service life cycle. It is not limited by the size, complexity or criticality of the project. It may be applied to all forms of information items, information item content, and document delivery media.

ISO/IEC 16326:2009 provides prescriptive content specifications for project management plans covering software projects, and software-intensive system projects. It also provides detailed discussion and advice on applying a set of project management processes that are common to both the software and system life cycle as covered by ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288.

ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010 facilitates the use of ISO/IEC 15288 and ISO/IEC 12207 by providing a reference model for life cycle models and illustrating the use of a life cycle model for systems and software in the context of 15288 and 12207. It describes life cycle concepts including the purposes and outcomes of life cycle stages and it provides advice on adapting a life cycle models for unique projects and domains. ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010 is a result of the alignment stage of the harmonization of ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288.

ISO/IEC 26702:2007 defines the interdisciplinary tasks which are required throughout a system's life cycle to transform customer needs, requirements and constraints into a system solution. In addition, it specifies the requirements for the systems engineering process and its application throughout the product life cycle.

Requirements engineering is an essential process in the 12207 and 15288 standards. This technical report provides guidance on desirable capabilities of requirements engineering (RE) tools and serves as a supplement to ISO/IEC 14102:2008 for the evaluation and selection of CASE tools.

This document addresses the creation, analysis and sustainment of architectures of software-intensive systems, and the recording of such architectures. ISO/IEC 42010 establishes a conceptual framework for architectural description and defines the content of an architectural description. Annexes provide the rationale for key concepts and terminology, the relationships to other standards, and examples of usage.
