ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4,
In ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 that plan for technical project management is termed the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP).
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 on systems engineering planning is useful for:
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, Systems and software engineering – System life cycle processes, provides a common process framework covering the life cycle of man-made systems. This life cycle spans the conception of ideas through to the retirement of a system. It provides the processes for acquiring and supplying systems. In addition, this framework provides for the assessment and improvement of the life cycle processes. This common framework improves communication and cooperation among the parties that create, utilize, and manage modern systems in order that they can work in an integrated, coherent fashion. The acquisition or supply of a system is usually done within a project. A project prepares and implements the technical plans and schedules necessary to guide the project toward the accomplishment of its objectives and proper conclusion. Given the project’s authorization and objectives, the project should establish a Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP).
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 provides unified and consolidated guidance on the life cycle management of systems and software. Its purpose is to help ensure consistency in system concepts and life cycle concepts, models, stages, processes, process application, key points of view, adaptation, and use in various domains as the two International Standards (and others) are used in combination. It should help a project to design a life cycle model for managing progress on a project.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 also identifies the processes as defined in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 to perform the necessary project planning activities to accomplish the project's technical effort and to develop the project's SEMP. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 is intended to provide guidance for two-party situations and may be equally applied where the two parties are from the same organization. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 can also be used by a single party as self-imposed tasks. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 can also serve as guidance in multi-party situations, where high risks are inherent in the supply and integration of complex systems, and procurement can involve several suppliers, organizations or parties.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 unifies technical and management requirements and guidance from several of these sources to specify the requirements for the content of a SEMP and to provide a common SEMP format. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4 focuses on the processes required for successful planning and management of the project’s systems engineering effort. It calls for the development of a SEMP as the key vehicle for representing a project's application of systems life cycle processes. The SEMP is a top-level technical planning document for a project which addresses Technical Management processes established by three principal sources (the project’s contract or agreement, applicable organizational processes, and the systems engineering project team) as necessary to successfully accomplish the systems engineering-related tasks of the project.
