Despite its compact 5.38" by 7" size, the Guidebook to IEEE/EIA 12207 Software Life Cycle Processes presents a concise summary of each clause in the standard that contains a requirement. It names all activities and tasks for each clause, and summarizes all requirements. The Guidebook explains the scope of the clause. It lists all work products associated with the clause, and gives a suggested example of each. For each of the five primary life cycle processes (Acquisition, Supply, Development, Operation,and Maintenance), the Guidebook includes a context diagram the summarizes relations between the primary process and other processes described by the standard. The Guidebook includes Tips for interpreting requirements. And, there are Alerts to potential problems when using the standard.

This review is from: Guidebook to IEEE/EIA 12207: Standard for Information Technology, Software Life Cycle Processes (Spiral-bound)
Gives an overview of IEEE/EIA 12207.0 (since replaced by 12207-2008) and ties it in to the documentation required by 12207.1. Will not work as a standalone for actually implementing anything, but it does provide a roadmap so you can find what you need in the primary documentation. The author mentions that the standard is being revised but believes this guide will still be applicable.
IEEE/EIA 12207 revises the terminology we are used to seeing. Process is now the highest level; there are five primary processes, Acquisition, Supply, Development, Operations, and Maintenance. Each process is broken down into activities (e.g., software requirements analysis) and the base standard identifies the tasks that should be accomplished as part of each activity. This book only goes to the activity level. And it lists the required documentation from Table 1 of 12207.1 at the process level, not the activity level which would have been more useful. It also has an excellent discussion on Tailoring, which is now encouraged. No sense producing mountains of documents that nobody ever reads.
