ISO21502.Kit

Description

What is ISO21502.Kit?

ISO21502.Kit is a collection of document templates designed for project management and the development of corporate project management standards. The list of documents included in ISO21502.Kit is derived from the international project management standard ISO 21502:2020, Project, Programme and Portfolio Management — Guidance on Project Management. This standard provides guidance on project management concepts and practices that are essential for, and have a direct impact on, the successful delivery of projects. It is easy to understand and serves as an excellent foundation for developing corporate project management standards.

However, each management document in ISO 21502:2020 is described with only one or a few mentions.

ISO21502.Kit complements the international standard ISO 21502:2020 by providing a set of working documents for project management. Using ISO21502.Kit templates saves time, simplifies project management documentation, and enhances the quality of the documents. These templates can be customized to meet the specific needs of companies across various industries.

The relationship between ISO21502.Kit documents, processes, and subject areas is illustrated in the accompanying diagram, which is also available for download in PDF format.
