Page 10 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7/WG 7 N1025 2007-05-24 Usage Guidance for 15288 and 12207 Nearly the same process models – 15288 describes the processes at the system level – 12207 provides specializations of the same processes to software, and adds processes specific to software Usage Guidance – System Focus – use 15288 – System with SW elements – use 15288 and the SW processes of 12207 – SW product or service focus – use 12207

11. Page 11 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7/WG 7 N1025 2007-05-24 Other Changes of Note Move towards common guidance for life cycle management concepts –Created ISO/IEC TR 24748, Guide to Life Cycle Management –Provides consistent guidance for Life Cycle Management concepts, for example: –Stages –Definitions –Life Cycle Models Reorganized the two standards to have similar flow to aid common usage

12. Page 12 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7/WG 7 N1025 2007-05-24 Status and Plan Expect to complete Alignment phase by end of 2007 Start to plan full integration phase directly after revision for alignment is published –Study Group being proposed to determine scope and content of Integration Phase of Harmonization to achieve a fully harmonized view of the system and software life cycle processes – Integration to consider: – Common purpose and outcomes – Architecture of the standards – Level of prescription of activities and tasks – Life cycle treatments – Treatment of products and services – Common verification and validation concepts – Common configuration management concepts – Deferred recommendations – Alignment with other applicable standards – Rationalization of application guides
