More information about ISO 21500

ISO 21500 is an international standard that provides guidelines for project management. This standard is designed to help organizations and individuals better plan, manage and deliver projects of any size and type.

The main elements of ISO 21500 are:

• Project Environment: Definition of the context in which the project takes place, including internal and external factors that may affect the project.

• Project Management Processes: A structured approach to defining and implementing project processes, including planning, execution, monitoring and closure.

• Roles and Responsibilities: Clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in the project.

• Focus on quality: Focus on ensuring high quality project outputs through standardised processes and procedures.

• Continuous Improvement: Promoting continuous improvement of project practices based on feedback and experience from previous projects.

ISO 21500 can be used on its own or integrated with other quality management standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 10006.

The ISO 21500 Foundation course is aimed at providing best practices for implementing and managing GPM as specified in ISO 215000. Thus, throughout the course, best practices for implementing GPM processes are referenced in addition to the basic concepts of GPM.
