Prior versions include: Prior to the IEEE Computer Society formally joining the editing process (becoming a major stakeholder) for the 2017 release, the IEEE maintained its own versions of ISO/IEC 12207, initially with modifications made jointly with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).
[12] Those IEEE versions included: It's also worth noting that IEEE/EIA 12207 officially replaced MIL-STD-498 (released in December 1994[11]) for the development of DoD software systems on May 27, 1998.
Indeed, the life cycle processes that involve planning, performance, and evaluation "should be considered for use at every stage".
[1][16] Here ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017 includes the acquisition and supply processes,[1][2][16] which are activities related to establishing an agreement between a supplier and acquirer.
[1][2][16] These processes help a business or organization enable, control, and support the system life cycle and related projects.
Life cycle model management helps ensure acquisition and supply efforts are supported, while infrastructure and portfolio management supports business and project-specific initiatives during the entire system life cycle.
The rest ensure the necessary resources and quality controls are in place to support the business' project and system endeavors.

Additional processes of integration, verification, transition, and validation help ensure quality and readiness.
