Abstract

The NBR ISO/IEC 12207 establishes a common framework for software life-cycle processes. One of these processes is the management, defined in the standard without the details of how to execute the prescribed activities. Seeking to create a set of practical guides of the software project management responsibilities, this paper presents a proposal for the NBR ISO/IEC 12207 mapping in a set of management roles based on the Rational Unified Process. One of the possibilities for this mapping is discussed in a case study, with distributed software development characteristics, where its use to the analysis of the software project management problems is presented.

Keywords: NBR ISO / IEC 12207, Management, Software Projects
