ISO/IEC 15288
[edit] ISO 15288 - Systems and software engineering -- System life cycle processes
The ISO/IEC 15288 is a Systems Engineering standard covering processes and life cycle stages. Initial planning for the ISO/IEC 15288:2002(E) standard started in 1994 when the need for a common Systems Engineering process framework was recognised. The first edition was issued on 1 November 2002.[1] In 2004 this standard was adopted as IEEE 15288. ISO/IEC 15288 has been updated 1 February 2008 and was edited by Stuart Arnold until 2004. ISO 15288 is managed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7, which is the ISO committee responsible for developing ISO standards in the area of Software and Systems Engineering. ISO/IEC 15288 is part of the SC 7 Integrated set of Standards. Other standards in this domain include:
- ISO/IEC TR 15504 which addresses capability
- ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288 which address lifecycle and
- ISO 9001 & ISO 9000-3 which address quality
The standard defines processes divided into four categories:
- Technical
- Project
- Agreement, and
- Enterprise
Each process is defined by a purpose, outcomes, and activities. ISO 15288 comprises 25 processes which have 123 outcomes derived from 403 activities.[2] Example life cycle stages described in the document are: concept, development, production, utilisation, support, and retirement.
| Technical Processes |
| Stakeholder Requirements Definition Process (Clause 6.4.1) |
| Requirements Analysis Process (Clause 6.4.2) |
| Architectural Design Process (Clause 6.4.3) |
| Implementation Process (Clause 6.4.4) |
| Integration Process (Clause 6.4.5) |
| Verification Process (Clause 6.4.6) |
| Transition Process (Clause 6.4.7) |
| Validation Process (Clause 6.4.8) |
| Operation Process (Clause 6.4.9) |
| Maintenance Process (Clause 6.4.10) |
| Disposal Process (Clause 6.4.11) |
ISO/IEC 15288 can be related to a number of existing approaches to systems engineering including
- CMMI
- INCOSE handbook
- ISO/IEC 12207
