ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017
The ISO/IEC/IEEE measurement process for systems and software engineering: establish commitment, prepare (information needs, measures, procedures, criteria, plan), perform (collect, verify, analyse, report) and evaluate (products, process, lessons, improvements), with conformance claimable to outcomes, tasks or a declared tailoring.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 is a compliance framework from International with 4 domains and 17 controls. The largest domains are Clause 6.3.2: Prepare for measurement – ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 (9 controls), Clause 6.3.3: Perform measurement – ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 (4 controls), Clause 6.3.1: Establish and sustain measurement commitment – ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 (2 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
