A study of ISO/IEC 15504 Information Technology-Process Assessment
Introduction
ISO/IEC 15504 also known as SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination), is a set of technical standards for the computer software development process and related business management functions. It is another joint international Organisations for standardization and international Electrotechnical Commission standard. ISO/IEC 15504 initially was derived from process lifecycle standard ISO 12207 and from maturity models like Bootstrap, Trillium and the CMM (Amazon.co.uk 2016). EL Emam and Birk (2002) describe ISO/IEC 15504 as “a newly appearing international standard on software process assessment and it defines a number of software engineering processes and a scale for measuring capability”.
The three fundamental concepts of the standard are the process reference model (PRM), the process assessment model

ISO/IEC 15504-5:2012 provides an in-depth description of the structure and key components of the Process Assessment model, which includes two dimensions, a process and capability dimension. It introduces assessment indicators also. “The process assessment model is a two-dimensional model of process capability” (ISO/IEC 2012). In one dimension the process dimension, the processes are defined and classified into a number of process categories. In the other dimension, the capability dimension, a set of process attributes grouped into capability levels is defined. The process attributes provide the measurable characteristics of process capability. A process assessment model contains a set of indicators of process performance and process capability. The indicators are used as a basis for gathering the objective evidence that allows an accessor to assign
Project standardization was used to redefine goals, guidelines, training, and reporting systems. A book of 'best practices' was compiled of articles and policies for reference. Given that Comau was a global organization the book provided a common point of reference for all organizational actors. The creation of an online virtual community created a more seamless dissemination of information about projects and practices between entities (Kerzner
Successful organizations continuously strive to improve the processes they have in place. Process improvement leads to better quality control, higher efficiencies and lower costs. In order to implement a process improvement plan, it is necessary to collect and analyze data from the process. In this paper, I present an analysis of the metric data collected for the process I identified during week #1. As part of the analysis, the control and confidence limits are calculated, as well as other relevant statistics. With this information, a process improvement
Processes were measured: The processes were identified. Objectives were identified. Obvious bottlenecks were highlighted by analysing the process metrics.
ISO 9001:2008 sets the requirements on the quality procedures and their content in sections 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 8.2.2, 8.3, 8.5.2, and 8.5.3.
A standard is an idea or thing used as a measure of people in the organization. The benefit of standard is easy to communicate on base language, such as the ability to work together (interoperability) or exchange information on system. The organization standard developers have many organize such as the ISO, ANSI, SDOs and IHTSDO. Interoperability is the ability of the healthcare system to work together that can be communicated and exchanged the data correctly, effectively, and consistently. Health Information Standards have 4 categories: Content Exchange Standard (HL7 CDA, Patient summary data set), Standard Vocabularies (ICDs, SNOMED-CT, LOINC), Messaging Standard (ICDs, SNOMED-CT, LOINC), and Privacy and Security Standards (PKI, SSL, Digital

Process evaluation aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a process or a system, which is in this case a shelter for homeless young women. The results of a process evaluation is used to derive policies for continuous process improvement. In this assignment, I assume that the evaluation is more customer-oriented, and the result of the evaluation is going to be used towards providing better quality of services for the homeless women living in the shelter.
Which actions in the standards best meet our needs and circumstances? How do we create our own standards, job description, support, and evaluation systems around those
The process generic study is considered to be an influential tool, in spite of the fact that it might also be quite challenging to be successfully executed. Due to its non-relevant characteristic to the organization field of industry, the organization should carefully select a process to be benchmarked and define an appropriate benchmarking partner jointly; however, finding a benchmarking partner for a process generic study can be tricky task, nonetheless, when a suitable partner is found, it is not difficult to convince the selected organization to participate in the benchmarking study , because the field of specialty is unrelated and both partners can benefit from the results, thus sharing information and expertise between both organizations
“ISO is commonly known as ‘International Organization for Standardization’, the ISO 9001:2000 standard is used for quality systems audited by outside auditors. This standard is applicable for manufacturing companies not only for software. This standard is given based on the documentation, design, production, testing, servicing and other processes.” (Testing Excellence.com, 2009).
A plausible explanation for many of the challenges faced by organizations using CMMI is likely the fact that most processes implemented using CMMI fail to distinguish that CMMI is fundamentally a model. Instead of viewing CMMI as a model they look at it as a standard. A standard is an auditable, testable, compliable work with a limited amount of set demonstrable outcomes with little variation between iterations.

ISO 9001 is a Quality management standard which is recognised internationally and used by organizations worldwide. It can be used by business of all sizes, it provides an effective quality management system. It was first published in 1987 (updated 1994, 2000, 2008). The latest version was published in 2015. This replaces all the previous editions. (Praxiom Group 2014)
