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.
