本文件适用于非常小的实体（VSE）。VSE是最多有25人的企业、组织、部门或项目。《国际标准集》（IS）和《技术报告》（TR）中描述的生命周期过程无意阻止或阻止规模大于VSE的组织使用它们。 高级配置文件是四个配置文件软件工程路线图（即入门、基础、中级和高级）的第四个配置文件。本文档描述了针对VSE的流程，这些VSE希望作为独立的竞争性软件开发业务保持和发展。 ISO/IEC 29110-4-1确定了适用于本文件所述任务和工作产品的要求。 这些指南适用于开发非关键软件的VSE。 使用这些指南，VSE可以获得以下好处: -与多个工作团队同时管理和监控多个项目； -在新项目中重用现有软件组件（例如代码和文档）； -项目的持续测量和评估； -持续评估和改进过程； -持续的可持续性和增长；和 -支持客户处理软件和安装新软件。 一旦VSE开发的软件被客户接受，想要提供售后服务的VSE可以参考ISO/IEC TR 29110- 5-3.

This document is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). VSEs are enterprises, organisations, departments or projects having up to 25 people. The life cycle processes described in the set of International Standards (IS) and Technical Reports (TR) are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by organisations bigger than VSEs. The Advanced profile is the fourth profile of a four-profile software engineering roadmap (i.e. Entry, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced). This document describes processes targeted at VSEs that want to sustain and grow as an independent competitive software development business. ISO/IEC 29110-4-1 identifies the requirements applicable to the tasks and work products described in this document. These guidelines apply to VSEs that develop non-critical software. Using these guidelines, VSEs can obtain the following benefits: - management and monitoring of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team; - reuse of existing software components (e.g. code and document) in new projects; - continuous measurement and evaluation of projects; - continuous evaluation and improvement processes; - continuous sustainability and growth; and - support to customers in the disposal of software and installation of new software. Once the software, developed by a VSE, has been accepted by their customer, the VSE that wants to provide after-delivery services can refer to ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3.
