ISO/IEC DIS 29110-4-1

Description / Abstract: Fields of application

ISO/IEC 29110 is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). VSEs are enterprises, organizations, departments or projects having up to 25 people. The lifecycle processes described in ISO/IEC 29110 are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by organizations bigger than VSEs.

The lifecycle processes defined in ISO/IEC 29110 can be used by VSEs when using, as well as when creating and supplying, a software system. They can be applied at any level in a software system’s structure and at any stage in the lifecycle. The processes described in ISO/IEC 29110 are not intended to preclude or discourage the use of additional processes that VSEs find useful. ISO/IEC 29110-4-1 is not intended to preclude the use of different life cycles such as: waterfall, iterative, incremental, evolutionary or agile.

This part provides a profile specification for the Basic Profile within the Generic Profile Group. The Basic Profile applies to VSEs involved in software development. It selects ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 project management and software implementation process elements and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2015 products from the single project perspective.

Its purpose is to provide the normative and informative links to the subset of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2015.
