ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 — System Lifecycle Processes Training by Tonex
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 — System Lifecycle Processes Training by Tonex provides professionals with a structured understanding of system life cycle processes used to plan, develop, integrate, operate, support, and retire complex systems. Participants explore how technical, management, agreement, and organizational processes work together across the system lifecycle.
The course examines how lifecycle discipline strengthens cybersecurity by incorporating security considerations into requirements, architecture, verification, validation, operation, and retirement activities. It also shows how cybersecurity risks can be managed continuously as systems, interfaces, stakeholders, and operational environments evolve.
The course uses a practical training approach that includes exercises, real-world case studies, and examples of processes and documentation used in systems engineering projects.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the purpose, structure, terminology, and application of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 system lifecycle processes.
- Identify appropriate lifecycle processes for different systems, projects, organizations, and acquisition environments.
- Apply stakeholder, system requirements, architecture, design, integration, verification, and validation processes.
- Coordinate technical management activities including planning, risk, configuration, information, measurement, and decision management.
- Relate agreement and organizational processes to acquisition, supply, governance, infrastructure, and portfolio activities.
- Integrate cybersecurity considerations throughout system lifecycle activities to reduce security risks and improve system resilience.
- Apply lifecycle thinking to system operation, maintenance, support, evolution, and retirement decisions.
