Full Description
Scope
This Technical Report is a guide for the life cycle management of systems and software based on ISO/IEC 15288 and ISO/IEC 12207. This Technical Report:- addresses systems concepts and life cycle concepts, models, stages, processes, process application, key points of view, adaptation and use in various domains;- establishes a common framework for describing life cycles, including their individual stages, for the management of projects to provide or acquire either products or services; defines the concept and terminology of a life cycle;- supports the use of the life cycle processes within an organization or a project. Organizations and projects can use these life cycle concepts when acquiring and supplying either products or services;- provides guidance on adapting a life cycle model and the content associated with a life cycle or a part of a life cycle;- describes the relationship between life cycles and their use in ISO/IEC 15288 (systems aspects) and ISO/IEC 12207 (software aspects);- shows the relationships of life cycle concepts to the hardware, human, services, process, procedure, facility and naturally occurring entity aspects of projects;- describes how its concepts relate to detailed process standards, for example, in the areas of measurement, project management and risk management;- complements domain-specific application guidance in ISO/IEC TR 19760 and ISO/IEC TR 15271.NOTE When published, ISO/IEC TR 24748-2 and ISO/IEC 24748-3 will cancel and replace ISO/IEC TR 19760 and ISO/IEC TR 15271, respectively.Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.This guide adopts ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010, which provides information on life cycle concepts and descriptions of the purposes and outcomes of representative life cycle stages. It also illustrates the use of a life cycle model for systems in the context of ISO/IEC 15288 and provides a corresponding illustration of the use of a life cycle model for software in the context of ISO/IEC 12207. ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010 additionally provides detailed discussion and advice on adapting a life cycle model for use in a specific project and organizational environment. It further provides guidance on life cycle model use by domains, disciplines and specialties.ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010 gives a detailed comparison between prior and current versions of ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288, as well as advice on transitioning from prior to current versions and on using their application guides. The discussion and advice are intended to provide a reference model for life cycle models, facilitate use of the updated ISO/IEC 15288 and ISO/IEC 12207, and provide a framework for the development of updated application guides for those International Standards. ISO/IEC TR 24748-1:2010 is a result of the alignment stage of the harmonization of ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288.
