The ISO/IEC29110series is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). VSEs are enterprises, organizations, departments or projects having up to 25people. The lifecycle processes described in the ISO/IEC29110series are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by larger organizations than VSEs.
The lifecycle processes defined in the ISO/IEC29110series 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 the ISO/IEC29110series are not intended to preclude or discourage the use of additional processes that VSEs find useful. This document is not intended to preclude the use of different life cycles such as: waterfall, iterative, incremental, evolutionary or agile.
This document provides a profile specification for the Basic profile. The Basic profile applies to VSEs involved in software development. It selects ISO/IEC/IEEE12207 project management and software implementation process elements from the single project perspective.
This document provides the normative and informative links to the subset of ISO/IEC/IEEE12207.
