The ISO/IEC 30105 series specifies the lifecycle process requirements performed by the IT enabled business process outsourcing service provider for the outsourced business processes. It defines the processes to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve its services.

This document specifies the process reference model (PRM). It contains process definitions across the lifecycle described in terms of process context, purpose and outcomes, together with a framework defining relationships between the processes.

The process purpose details the high-level objective of performing the process such that implementation of the process leads to tangible benefits for stakeholders. The process outcomes are clearly defined by observable results and aligned to the business benefits derived by the customer and service provider.
