IEEE/EIA 12207: The Life Cycle Process Framework G IEEE/EIA 12207, Standard for Information Technology – Software Life Cycle Processes N Addresses the complete software engineering life cycle, from acquisition and supply, through development, to operations and maintenance N Provides a process framework upon which an organization can build its enterprise-level life cycle processes N These enterprise-level processes are then tailored into projects, in order to meet specific project-level requirements.
