Implementation of ISO Standards for Work Breakdown Structures and Earned Value Management – What Impact Will They Have on the Community and the Use of Current Standards?
Abstract:
This presentation will discuss the upcoming new International Organization of Standards (ISO) Earned Value Management standard and Work Breakdown Structure standard. These standards have been in development for the last three years and will soon be released. They have been developed to further support ISO 21500 Standard for Programme/Project Management. The presentation will discuss the concept of their development, the approach taken, as well as their relationship to PMI’s Work Breakdown Structure Practice Standard and Earned Value Management Practice Standard; EIA 748 – Earned Value Management System Industry Standard as well as MIL STD 881 Work Breakdown Standard for Defense Materiel Systems. The presentation will show how these standards work together, but also whether the new ISO standards may replace existing US standards that are currently in place.
