Systems and software engineering — Content of life-cycle information items (documentation)
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2015 provides requirements for identifying and planning the specific information items (information products, documentation) to be developed and revised during systems and software life cycles and service processes. It specifies the purpose and content of all identified systems and software data records and life-cycle information items, as well as records and information items for information technology service management. The information item contents are defined according to generic document types (description, plan, policy, procedure, report, request, and specification) and the specific purpose of the document. For simplicity of reference, each information item is described as if it were published as a separate document. However, information items may be unpublished but available in a repository for reference, divided into separate documents or volumes, or combined with other information items into one document. ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2014 is based on the life-cycle processes specified in ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std 12207-2008) and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE Std 15288-2008), and the service management processes specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (IEEE Std 20000-1:2013) and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2012 (IEEE Std 20000-2:2013).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards ISO (the
International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the
specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in
the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective
organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in
fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with
ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a
joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees
of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a
consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together
volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not
necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process
and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not
independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of ISO/IEC JTC 1 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by
the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard
requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter
covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. ISO/IEEE is not responsible for identifying essential patents or
patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of
patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with
submission of a Letter of Assurance or a Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration Form, if any, or in any
licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that
determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own
responsibility. Further information may be obtained from ISO or the IEEE Standards Association.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 7, Software and systems engineering, in cooperation with the Software & Systems Engineering
Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society, under the Partner Standards Development Organization
cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 15289:2011), of which it constitutes a minor
revision. This second edition reflects ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (IEEE Std 20000-1-2013) and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2012
(IEEE Std 20000-2-2013), which replaced ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2005.

Introduction
The purpose of this International Standard is to provide requirements for identifying and planning the specific
information items (information products) to be developed and revised during systems and software life cycles
and service processes. This International Standard specifies the purpose and content of all identified systems
and software life-cycle information items, as well as information items for information technology service
management. The information item contents are defined according to generic document types and the specific
purpose of the document. Information items may be combined or subdivided as needed for project or
organizational purposes.
This International Standard is based on the life-cycle processes specified in ISO/IEC 12207:2008 (IEEE Std
12207-2008), Systems and software engineering — Software life cycle processes; ISO/IEC 15288:2008 (IEEE
Std 15288-2008), Systems and software engineering — System life cycle processes; and the service
management processes specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (IEEE Std 20000-1-2013), Information technology —
Service management — Part 1: Service Management System Requirements; and ISO/IEC 20000-2:2012 (IEEE
Std 20000-2-2013), Information technology — Service management — Part 2: Guidance on the application of
service management systems.
