NBN ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-4:2021

This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748
 specifies the Technical Management processes from ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 15288 that are required to be
implemented for planning a systems engineering project,
 gives guidelines for applying the required processes,
 specifies a required information item, a plan for the technical management and execution of the project
that is to be produced through the implementation of the Project Planning process,
 gives guidelines for the format and content of the required information item, and
 provides normative definition of the content of the information item that results from the application of
these processes to that end. In this part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 that plan for technical project
management is termed the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP).
This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 is applicable to
 those who use or plan to use ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 15288 on projects dealing with man-made systems including
software-intensive systems, software products, and services related to those systems and products,
 those who are responsible for the technical management of projects concerned with the engineering of
systems,
 those responsible for executing ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 15288 system life cycle processes at a project level,
 organizations and individuals who are subcontracting a project management effort,
 anyone developing engineering management documentation to complete technical planning aspects of
their project’s processes.
In many organizations, the various responsibilities of technical management are assigned to more than one
person. Where the term " technical manager" or " systems engineering manager" is used in this part of
ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748, the guidance, advice or normative requirement applies to the applicable role within the
project or organization.
This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 is intended to provide guidance for two-party situations and may be equally
applied where the two parties are from the same organization. This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 can also be
used by a single party as self-imposed tasks.
This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 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.

2.1 Intended usage
This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 provides guidance for the execution of the ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 15288 processes
that are required for planning and managing a project to implement a significant systems engineering effort.
This part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 also provides normative definition of the content and recommendations for
the format of the related information item, the project' s SEMP.
Users of this part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 can claim conformance to the process provisions or to the
information item provisions, or both.
The requirements in this part of ISO/ IEC/ IEEE 24748 are contained in 6.1, Clauses 7 and 9 and in Annex C.
