BS ISO/IEC 16326:2009 Systems and software engineering. Life cycle processes. Project management
BS ISO/IEC 16326 is intended to aid project managers in managing to successful conclusion those projects concerned with software-intensive systems and software products.
BS ISO/IEC 16326 specifies the required content of the project management plan (PMP). This International Standard also quotes the extracted purpose and outcome statements from the project processes of ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008) and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288-2008), and adds detailed guidance for managing projects that use these processes for software products and software intensive systems.
BS ISO/IEC 16326 is written for those who use or plan to use ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288- 2008) and ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008) on projects dealing with software-intensive systems and software products, regardless of project scope, product, methodology, size or complexity. The field of application of this International Standard spans the whole software or system life cycle, and addresses everybody who plays a role in project management – project managers and others, specifically:
Those responsible for establishing and continuously improving ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207- 2008) software life cycle processes and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288-2008) system life cycle processes
Those responsible for executing any ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008) software life cycle process or ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288-2008) system life cycle process at a project level
Organizations or individuals subcontracting a project management effort.
In many organizations, the various responsibilities of project management are assigned to more than one person. Where the term "project manager" is used in BS ISO/IEC 16326, the guidance, advice or normative requirement...
