The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a s
17、ubject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
18、(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical commit

23、 management teams and project teams; p roject managers, project management teams and project team members, so that they have a common basis upon which to compare their project standards and practices with those of others; d evelopers of national or organizational standards, for use in developing pro
24、ject management standards, which are consistent at a core level with those of others.DIN ISO 21500:2016-02 5 Guidance on project management1 ScopeThis International Standard provides guidance for project management and can be used by any type of organization, including public, private or community o
25、rganizations, and for any type of project, irrespective of complexity, size or duration.This International Standard provides high-level description of concepts and processes that are considered to form good practice in project management. Projects are placed in the context of programmes and project
26、portfolios, however, this International Standard does not provide detailed guidance on the management of programmes and project portfolios. Topics pertaining to general management are addressed only within the context of project management.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, th

Project management includes the integration of the various phases of the project life cycle, as described in 3.10.Project management is performed throug

Projects are often the means to accomplish strategic goals. An example of a value crea

Opportunities selection includes consideration o
44、f various factors, such as how benefits can be realized and risks can be managed.The project goal is to provide measurable benefits that contribute to realizing the selected opportunities. The project objective contributes to the project goal by creating the required deliverables. Project goals are
45、achieved when the benefits are realized. Goals might not be achieved until a period of time after the objectives are achieved.3.4.2 Opportunity evaluation and project initiationOpportunities may be evaluated to support informed decision-making by responsible management, in order to identify feasible
46、 projects that could transform some or all of these opportunities into realized benefits.These opportunities may address, for example, a new market demand, a current organizational need or a new legal requirement. The opportunities are often evaluated through a set of activities that provide formal
47、authorization to start a new project. The organization should identify a project sponsor to be responsible for project goals and benefits.The goals and benefits may result in a justification for the investment in the project, e.g. in the form of a business case, and that may contribute to a prioritization of all oppor
