Space systems. Guidelines to define the management framework for a space project. | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope This International Standard provides a framework within which an organization can establish the basis for the development of programme/project management specifications and plans when undertaking the execution of a specific programme/project. It enables the programme/project manager to establish the criteria for programme/project success and to secure the organization’s commitment to the programme/project manager’s management approach for the overall programme/project and its constituent elements. It includes requirements leading to the establishment of a programme/project management framework, and identification of practices to be applied. Following these requirements also results in traceability of the considerations and decisions on why and how the programme/project is conducted according to its specific characteristics. This International Standard provides a holistic approach for programme/project managers to apply their organization's programme/project management practices when defining the management framework for programme/project planning. It is based on a systematic method of

• — defining the programme/project objectives and success criteria,
• — identifying and elaborating the specific characteristics of their programme/project,
• — specifying the management elements needed,
• — establishing and agreeing the management approaches to be implemented, and
• — compiling these into a programme/project management framework document.

This International Standard is applicable to any organization undertaking the execution of space programmes/projects.
