Projektmanagement

Project work is important for most companies and now accounts for up to half of the added value in many companies - making it all the more important that the processes are precisely recorded and sensibly standardized. The standardization of project management - and, thus, network planning technology - can look back on a surprisingly long history, and its core documents have been subject to regular updating. One result is the present DIN Taschenbuch 472, in which 15 documents are collected on over 500 pages.

Among the documents included are the DIN 69900 "Project management" and DIN 69909 "Multi-project management" series of standards with comprehensive information on project management systems and the management of project portfolios, programmes and projects. This compendium of standards also includes DIN ISO 21500, DIN ISO 21502 and DIN ISO 21505, which provide information on the context and concepts of programme and portfolio management, as well as guidelines on project management and governance.

Some of the topics covered in this book are:

• Principles and terminology
• Process models and data models
• Methods
• Quality management in projects
• Portfolio management
• Governance

This collection of standards offers basic documents, process descriptions and guidelines, many of them in German and English.

New standards for new requirements

There is a lot of movement in the project management standardization landscape: In particular, the new vitality of international standards work is having an impact on German standardization, as shown by DIN ISO 21500, DIN ISO 21502 and DIN ISO 21505, which have been adopted in Germany directly and unchanged from International Standards. In line with the dynamic situation, this 5th edition of "Project Management - Network Technology and Project Management Systems" contains a number of significant innovations. This specialised compendium of standards offers:

• 15 important standards from the sector
  This collection of standards contains the most important documents for project management, including the basic standard DIN 69900 with descriptions and terms, and Parts 1 to 5 of DIN 69901 on project management systems, as well as Parts 1 to 4 on the management of project portfolios, programmes and projects. Documents with guidelines round off the collection.
