Abstract
The recently published ISO/IEC 29110 for systems engineering has been used as the main framework for the development of the management and systems engineering processes at CSinTrans Inc. (CSiT), a Canadian company, founded in 2011. CSiT specializes in the integration of communication and security systems in transit industry such as trains, subways and buses as well as railway stations, subway stations and bus stops. CSiT approved an internal project to define and implement project management and systems engineering processes. The project’s history, purpose and rationale that prompted CSiT to adopt the new systems engineering process standard are presented. The implementation of the ISO/IEC 29110 is described. The reflections and decisions made during the implementation are presented. Recommendations and advice for organizations wanting to implement ISO/IEC 29110 are described. ISO/IEC 29110 has helped raise the maturity of the young organization by implementing proven practices and developing consistent work products from one project to another. ISO/IEC 29110 was a good starting point to align processes of CSiT with practices of CMMI®. ISO/IEC 29110 has helped CSiT with developing light processes as well as remaining flexible and quick in its ability to respond to its customers.
