Project-6: ISO/IEC 12207 Compliance

ISO/IEC 12207:2017 establishes a common framework for software life cycle processes, with well-defined terminology, that can be referenced by the software industry. It contains processes, activities, and tasks that are to be applied during the acquisition of a software product or service and during the supply, development, operation, maintenance and disposal of software products. Software includes the software portion of firmware.

The ISO 12207 model alone does not provide sufficiently detailed guidance to make an organization manageable. The processes within the framework still have to be tailored to fit each given situation. In other words, an effective approach can be engineered for each ICT project using the 12207 framework because the model embraces all possible forms of activity. The implementation strategy is always top-down, meaning that an explicit process model can be constructed for any given project at any level of definition from the reference framework. This hierarchical approach creates a practical management process from policies formulated at the enterprise level through management procedures at the operating level. Explain the practical management process from policies formulated at the enterprise level through management procedures at the operating level to implement ISO 12207 in a hybrid cloud environment.
