This standard describes CM processes to be established, how they are to be accomplished, who is responsible for doing specific activities, when they are to happen, and what specific resources are required. It addresses CM activities over a product's life cycle. This standard is consistent with IEEE's Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288.

The standard focuses on establishing effective compliance and IT controls. It presents principles of DevOps including mission first, customer focus, left-shift, continuous everything, and systems thinking. It describes how stakeholders including developers and operations staff can collaborate and communicate effectively. Its process outcomes and activities are aligned with the process model specified in ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017, Systems and software engineering—Software life cycle processes, and in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015, Systems and software engineering—System life cycle processes https://standards.ieee.org/project/2675.html.
