ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 provides management and engineering guide to the intermediate profile described in terms of business management, project management, software implementation and acquisition processes. ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). VSEs are enterprises, organizations, departments or projects having up to 25 people. The life cycle processes described in the ISO/IEC 29110 series are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by organizations bigger than VSEs. ISO/IEC 29110?4-1 identifies the requirements applicable to the tasks and work products described in this document. ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 has been developed using the management and engineering guide of the Basic profile and by modifying and adding elements (e.g. process, task, work product, role) for VSEs involved in the development of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team. ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 applies for VSEs developing non-critical software. Using this document, VSEs can obtain the following benefits: - the management and monitoring of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team; - reuse existing software components (e.g. code and document) in new projects; - continuously measure projects and improve processes. Once the software, developed by a VSE, has been accepted by their customers, the VSE that wants to provide after delivery services can refer to ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3.[1] ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 is targeted to VSEs which are familiar with ISO/IEC TR 29110‑5-1-2 for their software development projects and are involved in the development of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team. ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017 is intended to be used with any lifecycles, processes, techniques and methods that enhance the VSEs customer satisfaction and productivity. [1] To be published.

ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3:2017(E)
Introduction
Very Small Entities (VSEs) around the world are creating valuable products and services. For the
purpose of the ISO/IEC 29110 series, a Very Small Entity (VSE) is an enterprise, an organization, a
department or a project having up to 25 people. Since many VSEs develop and/or maintain system
and software components used in systems, either as independent products or incorporated in larger
systems, recognition of VSEs as suppliers of high quality products is required.
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) SME and
Entrepreneurship Outlook report (2005), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) constitute the
dominant form of business organization in all countries world-wide, accounting for over 95 % and
up to 99 % of the business population depending on country. The challenge facing governments
and economies is to provide a business environment that supports the competitiveness of this large
heterogeneous business population and that promotes a vibrant entrepreneurial culture.
From studies and surveys conducted, it is clear that the majority of International Standards do not
address the needs of VSEs. Implementation of and conformance with these standards is difficult, if not
impossible. Consequently, VSEs have no, or very limited, ways to be recognized as entities that produce
quality systems/system elements, including software in their domain. Therefore, VSEs are excluded
from some economic activities.
It has been found that VSEs find it difficult to relate International Standards to their business needs
and to justify the effort required to apply standards to their business practices. Most VSEs can neither
afford the resources, in terms of number of employees, expertise, budget and time, nor do they see a
net benefit in establishing over-complex systems or software life cycle processes. To address some of
these difficulties, a set of guides has been developed based on a set of VSE characteristics. The guides
are based on subsets of appropriate standards processes, activities, tasks, and outcomes, referred to as
profiles. The purpose of a profile is to define a subset of International Standards relevant to the VSEs’
context; for example, processes, activities, tasks, and outcomes of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 for software;
processes, activities, tasks, and outcomes of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 for systems; information products
(documentation) of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289 for software and systems.
VSEs can achieve recognition through implementing a profile and by being audited against
ISO/IEC 29110 specifications.
The ISO/IEC 29110 series of standards and technical reports can be applied at any phase of system or
software development within a life cycle. This series of standards and technical reports is intended to
be used by VSEs that do not have experience or expertise in adapting/tailoring ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207
or ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 standards to the needs of a specific project. VSEs that have expertise in
adapting/tailoring ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 or ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 are encouraged to use those standards
instead of ISO/IEC 29110.
The ISO/IEC 29110 series is intended to be used with any lifecycle such as waterfall, iterative,
incremental, evolutionary or agile.
Systems, in the context of the ISO/IEC 29110 series, are typically composed of hardware and software
components.
The ISO/IEC 29110 series, targeted by audience, has been developed to improve system or software
and/or service quality, and process performance. See Table 1.

guides not tied to a specific
profile
If a new profile is needed, ISO/IEC 29110-4 and ISO/IEC TR 29110-5 can be developed with minimal
impact to existing documents.
ISO/IEC 29110-1 defines the terms common to the ISO/IEC 29110 series. It introduces processes,
lifecycle and standardization concepts, the taxonomy (catalogue) of ISO/IEC 29110 profiles and
the ISO/IEC 29110 series. It also introduces the characteristics and needs of a VSE, and clarifies the
rationale for specific profiles, documents, standards and guides.
ISO/IEC 29110-2-1 introduces the concepts for systems and software engineering profiles for VSEs.
It establishes the logic behind the definition and application of profiles. For standardized profiles, it
specifies the elements common to all profiles (structure, requirements, conformance, assessment). For
domain-specific profiles (profiles that are not standardized and developed outside of the ISO process),
it provides general guidance adapted from the definition of standardized profiles.
ISO/IEC 29110-3 defines certification schemes, assessment guidelines and compliance requirements
for process capability assessment, conformity assessments, and self-assessments for process
improvements. ISO/IEC 29110-3 also contains information that can be useful to developers of
certification and assessment methods and developers of certification and assessment tools.
ISO/IEC 29110-3 is addressed to people who have direct involvement with the assessment process, e.g.
the auditor, certification and accreditation bodies and the sponsor of the audit, who need guidance on
ensuring that the requirements for performing an audit have been met.
ISO/IEC 29110-4–m provides the specification for all profiles in one profile group that are based on
subsets of appropriate standards elements.
ISO/IEC TR 29110-5–m provides management, engineering and service delivery guides for the profiles
in a profile group.
The future ISO/IEC TR 29110-6-x provides management and engineering guides not tied to a specific
profile.
This document provides a management and engineering guide for the software intermediate profile
of the generic profile group. This guide describes the management of more than one project in parallel
with more than one work team.
Figure 1 describes the ISO/IEC 29110 International Standards (IS) and Technical Reports (TR) and
positions the parts within the framework of reference. Overview, assessment guide, management and
engineering guide are available from ISO as freely available. Technical Reports (TR). The Framework
document, profile specifications and certification schemes are published as International Standards (IS).
