A draft guideline in the ISO/IEC 29110 series for very small entities. It covers business management, then project management, then system definition and realisation, and finally acquisition management in the Intermediate profile. It replaces the 2019 Technical Report for the same part. It is not a certifiable management system standard.
The public ISO record describes the document as management and engineering guidance for the Intermediate profile. It is a guideline for VSEs developing non-critical systems, not a certifiable management system standard. The public abstract names four processes. The draft body is not public, so this site states the public record and our reading of the practices, and does not quote the draft.
Where the answer stops
This answer is written from the public ISO record and the register on this site. The FDIS body is not public, so the answer does not quote it or state a draft clause. It is not legal advice, does not certify and does not decide a question for a particular firm or system.
If the answer turns on a fact about your firm, use the free check or read the practice that names the evidence.
