conference contribution
posted on 2015-03-30, 16:05 authored by Claude Y. Laporte, Rory V. O'ConnorVery small entities, organizations with up to 25 people, are very
important to the worldwide economy. The products they develop are either
developed specifically for a customer or are integrated into products made by
larger enterprises. To address the needs of Very small entities, a set of standards
and guides have been developed using the systems engineering lifecycle
standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 as the main framework. The systems
engineering handbook, developed by the International Council on Systems
Engineering (INCOSE), is used as the reference for the development of a set of
systems engineering deployment packages. Two pilot projects, using the new
ISO/IEC 29110 guide for systems engineering, are presented as well as a cost
and savings analysis. Finally, the certification scheme is discussed as well as
the future developments.
