The mission of Technical Committee 258 (ISO/TC 258) is to provide practitioners, executive management, team members, consultants, academics, and others with standards, and other related ISO deliverables which will enable, support, and improve the practice of project, programme, and portfolio management. To this end, the objectives outlined in this strategic plan are focused on providing, improving, and maintaining a body of standards and other supportive and data-driven deliverables, where available.
In accomplishing the objectives of this Strategic Plan, ISO/TC 258 provides the global marketplace with a common understanding and supporting vocabulary to practice project, programme, and portfolio management. The TC also develops other ISO documents for new and emerging areas to help promote dialogue and conceptualize new ideas that will allow the future development of international standards.
ISO/TC 258 has delivered one standard to the international marketplace; guidance for project management, which has been adopted by several nations as a national standard.
The committee has also developed international guidance standards on programme management, portfolio management, and governance, some of which have been adopted or adopted with modifications. Other standards such as the earned value management are in the process of being modified for adoption by some countries, as their national standard.
The mission of ISO/TC 258 is to update existing standards, produce new standards, and promote the use of the entire series of deliverables within the global marketplace.
The Strategic Business Plan describes and consolidates ISO/TC 258 working practices and environment. The Strategic Business Plan will be updated as needed and is considered a living document by the TC.
