This part of ISO/IEC 29110 introduces the major concepts required to understand and use the ISO/IEC 29110 series. It introduces the characteristics and requirements of a VSE and clarifies the rationale for VSE-specific profiles, documents, standards and guides. This part of ISO/IEC 29110 also introduces process, lifecycle, standardization concepts and defines the organizational terms common to the VSEProfile Set of Documents. This part of ISO/IEC 29110 is applicable to a VSE. A VSE is an entity (enterprise, organization, department or project) having up to 25 people. The lifecycleprocesses described in the ISO/IEC 29110 series, Standardized Profiles and Technical Reports are not intended to preclude nor discourage their use by an entity that is larger than a VSE.
