Special Edition Business 101 Session with itSMF:

The New ISO/IEC 29110 Standard for Very Small Entities (VSEs)


Featuring Marc Taillefer


Learn how VSEs can implement new international standards for easier recognition!

Join Digital Nova Scotia and itSMF for an informative session on new international standards for very small entities (VSEs). With the development of ISO/IEC 29110, a series of international standards related to systems and software engineering for VSEs, it is now much easier for companies to obtain recognition for international standardization.

To rectify some of the difficulties experienced by VSEs due to limited budgets and resources, a set of standards and technical reports have been developed and adapted for VSEs. Featured speaker, Marc Taillefer, will provide insight on the impact of ISO/IEC 291110 to VSEs and international standardization for systems and software engineering, including:

  • How VSEs in the Atlantic Provinces can benefit by implementing international documentation?
  • What documentation is available to help VSEs successfully implement international standards?
  • What are the many possible ways in which to implement ISO/IEC 29110 and get recognized?
  • Why some international organisations are not in favour of the ISO/IEC 29110 Standards and Guide?
  • What roles can itSMF and other Atlantic regional support groups take to create a dynamic Atlantic 29110 implementation group and possibly provide leadership to other regions of Canada and the northern States?


The presentation will be followed by a Q & A session.
