OSA Life Cycle

Evaluating SDLC models to adopt as our primary reference framework.

We are still evaluating which SDLC (Solution/System/Software Development Life Cycle) model to adopt as our primary reference framework.

Key Requirements

Our selection criteria for the reference model include: - Adequate coverage of security controls - Public availability without expensive corporate membership - Multi-industry and multi-country adoption - Independence from single-vendor ownership

Models Under Consideration

We are examining these frameworks: - ISO/IEC 15288, System Life Cycle Processes - IEEE STD 1220, Application and Management of the Systems Engineering Process - ISO/IEC 21827, Systems Security Engineering Capability Maturity Model (SSE-CMM) - ITIL - COBIT

Definition

An SDLC framework defines on a high abstraction level which processes are needed to achieve a given set of system qualities. It establishes actors and contextualizes processes within related domains like project management and architectural governance.
