1. Good reasons to implement ISO 21 500
 Generic standard
 All project types (regardless of size, complexity, industry, etc.)
 All kinds of organizations
 General standard with important concepts and processes
 All players with same understanding about the basic structures, roles and responsibilities
 Enough room for interpretations at the operational level
 Overarching standard
 Trust and acceptance

1. Good reasons to implement ISO 21 500
 Overarching standard
 Over 30 active NSBs (national standardization bodies)
 IPMA and PMI
 Common language, high translatability (e.g. „execution“ versus „implementing“)
 Taking into account wide verity of roles (e.g. responsibility for the amortization of project
investment - benefits)
 Verity of cultures (engineers vs. businesspeople, project managers vs. line management, etc.)
 Trust and acceptance
 50-100 Representatives from over 30 countries present at plenary sessions
 Thousand of comments dealt with after each ballot
 Result of each stage put to the vote (If accepted, next stage)
 Standardized approach (Consensus, very large majority)

3. ISO 21 500 – Processes
 Task of project manager:
coordination of
 Product processes
 Support processes
 Disadvantage when process is used one-by-one
 39 processes cross-referenced to one of
 The five process groups
 The ten subject groups
 They need not be applied uniformly on all projects or all project phases

3. ISO 21 500 – Processes
 Interactions of the individual processes in each process group identified
 The organization decides which processes are required and in what sequence.
 What should be done and not how it should be done
 Processes are described in a standardized way:
 Purpose of each process
 Short description
 Primary input and output
 Mapped to the subject groups as shown in so called Swim Lane diagram

5. ISO 21 500 as a base standard for development of
specific project management methodology and model
 Adjusting to types of project
 Deliverable (e.g. construction, software development, new products development)
 Internal / external
 Importance and complexity
 Conception
 Assessment and mapping the old system against ISO 21 500 (E.g. processes, documents,
stakeholder, roles including top management)
 Concept of methodology development (system for categorization, document hierarchy, etc.)
 Development and implementation

5. ISO 21 500 as a base standard for development of
specific project management methodology and model
 Development and implementation
 Framework development
 ISO 21500 process alignment (sequence can change)
Linking project management processes, product processes and support processes
(linking these three kinds of processes)

5. ISO 21 500 as a base standard for development of
specific project management methodology and model
Mistakes to avoid
 Excessive specification and bureaucratization of regulations
 Ignoring organization’s specifics and successful own experience of project management
 PM methodologies development is considered as one-time procedure which ends with
the formal approval by the organization's management

6. Change Management
 Implementation of project management standard ISO 21 500 - big change (of identity?)
in the organisation
 Existing dynamic balance of an organisation is transformed into the new balance
 Identity model by Gareis and Stummer
