scope:

This document provides the mapping expressing corresponding relations between software life cycle processes in ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017 and the processes in the previous edition ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008. These relations are demonstrated by means of mapping tables that show relationships between activities and tasks, and process outcomes. This mapping assists users of the 2008 edition to transition to using the 2017 edition. This document will help users understand the differences between the reference processes and requirements of the two editions of ISO/IEC/IEEE12207, and help the user to understand any potential gaps or process enhancements might be needed in seeking conformance to, and/or use of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017. Also, this document provides to such users the mapping which helps to identify corresponding and compatible process outcomes, activities and tasks of processes for software systems in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017.
