'''The Monitoring Maintenance Lifecycle''' (MML) is a monitoring development process to lower maintenance expenses and improve the dependability of IT infrastructure with regard to service recovery-related issues. It is based on the classical [[Waterfall model]].

Monitoring Maintenance Lifecycle are methods and standards for improving and mastering maintenance [[industrial process|process]]es, supporting processes and management processes throughout the monitoring lifecycle.

The quest for the optimized mix of processes has resulted in different [[International standard|standards]] throughout the history. One of the latest which was published is the [[ISO/IEC 12207]] [[International standard|standard]]. This standard was proposed in 1988 and published in August 1995. It was created to establish a common international [[Conceptual framework|framework]] to acquire, supply, develop, operate, and maintain.

[[ISO/IEC 12207]] consists of three types of processes:
* Primary lifecycle processes;
* Supporting lifecycle processes;
* Organizational lifecycle processes.

==Supply==
During the supply phase a [[Project plan|project management plan]] is developed based on [[IBM Rational Unified Process|RUP]]. This plan contains information about the project such as different milestones that need to be reached. This [[Project plan|project management plan]] is needed in the start up phase and throughout the monitoring and maintenance lifecycle.
