ISO/IEC/IEE Standard 15288:2015-Systems and Software Engineering-System Life Cycle Processes - (Third Edition)

When building a large complex system with many sub-systems such as an airplane, oil tanker, or setting up a new type of medical delivery system, it is a daunting task with high risk. Until 1995 there was no recognized ‘Best of Practice” standard that the world could agree on for building a large complex system. Then ISO developed the first standard (Best of practice) for System Engineering of large complex systems, which was ISO/IEC 15288. It initially defined about 600 artifacts to be produced in the development of a large system.

By 2015, the world was able to collect more and more “lessons learned” from many large projects that failed, or had massive cost, or schedule overruns. With this new data 15288 grew in size, to over 1050 artifacts. If an organization does not have a clear picture of what artifact (Documentation) is required in the life cycle of such a system, it is easy to miss an important process step. This is why a checklist like the SEPT checklist for 15288 is so important..

The checklist defines by each clauses and subclause what is required in the standard as Procedure, Plan, Record, Document, Audit or Review.

The checklist comes with 4 hours of free consultation, from experts that have firsthand knowledge of the underlying standard, to answer questions on the standards and checklists and is valid for 60 days after purchase of the product.
