本条款介绍了本国际标准的范围、目的、组织和候选用途。本国际标准将支持技术作者和相关角色的兴趣，这些角色负责为敏捷环境中开发的软件和系统生成用户文档。该标准采用过程标准的方法来指定在敏捷开发项目中开发用户文档的方式。本标准提供了适用于使用敏捷开发方法的软件项目的信息管理和文档过程的要求。本国际标准第5条的第一部分涵盖了敏捷开发方法和传统开发方法之间的差异。本国际标准第6条的第二部分描述了信息开发主管或项目经理如何在敏捷环境中规划和管理用户文档开发团队。 本国际标准第7条的第三部分涵盖了敏捷开发中用户文档过程和生命周期文档过程之间的关系。本国际标准既不鼓励也不鼓励使用任何特定的敏捷开发工具或方法。本内部标准为使用敏捷开发方法的软件和系统项目中的用户文档开发人员提供了适用于流程的指导。它不仅限于用户文档生命周期的开发阶段，还包括整个用户文档生命周期中的活动。本国际标准适用于所有正在使用敏捷开发或正在考虑使用这些技术实施其项目的组织。假定读者对传统的用户文档编制过程有经验或一般知识。

This clause presents the scope, purpose, organisation, and candidate uses of this International Standard.This International Standard will support the interest of technical authors and associated roles responsible for producing user documentation for software and systems developed within an agile environment. This standard takes a process standard approach to specify the way in which user documentation can be developed in agile development projects.This standard provides requirements on information management and documentation processes appropriate for software projects that are using agile development methods.The first part of this International Standard in Clause 5 covers the differences between agile development methodologies and traditional development methodologies.The second part of this International Standard in Clause 6 describes how the information development lead or project manager may plan and manage the user documentation development team in an agile environment.The third part of this International Standard in Clause 7 covers the relationship between the user documentation process and life cycle documentation process in agile development.This International Standard is intended neither to encourage nor to discourage the use of any particular agile development tools or methods.This Internal Standard provides guidance on processes appropriate for developers of user documentation in software and systems projects that are using agile development methodologies. It will not be limited to the development phase of the life cycle of user documentation, but includes activities throughout the user documentation life cycle.This International Standard is intended for use in all organisations that are using agile development, or are considering implementing their projects using these techniques. It is assumed that readers have experience or general knowledge of traditional user documentation processes.
