These processes can be applied to systems of interest, their system elements, and to systems of systems. Selected sets of these processes can be applied throughout the stages of a system' s life cycle. This is accomplished through the involvement of stakeholders, with the ultimate goal of achieving customer satisfaction.< / span>
