System Implementation and Delivery
Richard E. Fairley · 2019
This chapter provides readers with the opportunity to learn about iterative and incremental implementation of software-enabled physical systems. System implementation occurs during Phase 5 of the integrated-iterative-incremental (I3) system development model, which includes iterative-incremental subphases. During each subphase, software engineers can use iterative development processes, as desired, to construct and procure the software elements needed to realize the software elements of system capabilities and other disciplinary engineers can use incremental development processes, as desired, to concurrently fabricate and procure the physical system elements needed for the same system capabilities. System delivery occurs in Phase 6, which includes system transition from the development environment to the operational environment and system validation in the operational environment. ISO/IEC/IEEE Standard 15288, augmented by ISO/IEC/IEEE Standard 12207 provides the basis for system implementation and delivery (ISO 2015, 2017). The chapter illustrates the correspondence between the I3 implementation and delivery phases and the 15288/12207 technical processes.
