CSA ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3:19

CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CSA ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3” throughout. At the time of publication, ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3:2018 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC. The ISO/IEC Technical Report was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Information and Communications Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csagroup.org. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope 1.1 Fields of application These Service Delivery guidelines are applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). A VSE is an enterprise, an organization, a department or a project having up to 25 people. This document provides guidance to manage a set of services delivered to customers. The VSE can act as an internal service provider (providing services internal to the VSE) or as an external service provider (providing services commercially to external customers). These lifecycle processes (Governance, Service Control, Service Relationship and Service Incident) support and enhance the activities of software and system operations (further to development and installation) to create effective and efficient products and services. This document provides guidance for Service Delivery. This document, when implemented, will assist and guide the VSE in the delivery of services which can benefit customers. This document does not promote uniformity in approach across all organizations as specific objectives and initiatives are tailored to suit an individual organization’s needs. Tasks described in this guideline document (and therefore activities and processes) are related by input/output relationships which imply a logical execution sequence. The order of presentation of the processes or the associated numbering scheme is for identification purposes only, NOT to indicate implementation or execution order. As every VSE is different; tasks can be implemented in an order that is suitable for the organization, while respecting the relationships between tasks. 1.2 Target audience This document is intended to be used by VSEs to establish processes to implement effective and efficient service delivery. This service delivery guidelines document can be used by VSEs that are offering only services to its customers or it can be combined with the information from ISO/IEC 29110 systems and/or software management and engineering guidelines.
