Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Introduction
The ISO/IEC 19583 series consists of Technical Reports showing how to implement ISO/IEC 11179 and
ISO/IEC 19763.
When a software development project is started the project structure, consisting of processes,
activities and tasks, is defined and described in the Project Initiation Document or Project Plan. The
project deliverables are also defined in these documents. These documents are then maintained until
the project is completed.
The project processes, activities and tasks can be modelled using a process model. A ‘standard project
process model’ is defined in ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 but the process model for each project should be
defined and tailored to recognize the distinctive characteristics of that project. These tailored process
models, and their associated deliverables, should be preserved so that the processes, activities, tasks
and deliverables can be reused or adapted for new projects, enabling these new projects to be managed
efficiently and effectively and at low risk.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 establishes a common framework for software development, containing the
processes, activities, and tasks that are to be applied during the whole lifecycle of a software product
or service. In software development, each organisation establishes its standard processes based on the
specification provided by ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207. During project initiation, the project manager defines
the processes, activities, and tasks for the project by tailoring the standard processes so that the new
project process model recognizes the distinctive characteristics of the project. For future projects with
similar characteristics the new project will be more efficiently and effectively managed with higher
quality deliverables produced at lower risk if an existing project process model can be easily reused.

Part 22:
Registering and mapping development processes using
ISO/IEC 19763
1 Scope
This document provides a usage scenario that utilizes the facilities defined in ISO/IEC 11179-3, ISO/
IEC 19763-5 and ISO/IEC 19763-10 to demonstrate the registration of the mapping between process
models. The availability of these registered process model mappings will help to promote the reuse of
process models.
The scope of this document is limited to a discussion of the process models associated with software
development projects and the deliverables produced during these projects.
This document describes a scenario that evaluates the combined usage of ISO/IEC 11179-3, ISO/
IEC 19763-5 and ISO/IEC 19763-10 to enable the reuse of past knowledge of process models describing
project processes and deliverables.

4 Assumptions
4.1 Definition and registration of process models
It is assumed that process models are described by a specific modelling language and registered in
accordance with the conditions specified in ISO/IEC 11179-6. Registration of the process models is
enabled using the facilities specified in ISO/IEC 19763-3, ISO/IEC 19763-10 and ISO/IEC 19763-5.
