The interoperability and compliance practices that run on top of every lifecycle: interface standards conformance and certification, model and data exchange between tools, regulatory and environmental compliance, export control, quality systems and industry schemes, and the evidence and records that prove each claim.
Mapped onto 36 of 36 lifecycles: 432 of 432 stages and 683 of 683 gates have practices from this overlay.
Where interop and compliance practices apply, lifecycle by stage
Each row is a lifecycle and each cell one of its stages, in order. A cell counts the practices whose phase matches the stage. Select a cell to open the stage, where the practices and the gate questions are listed.
