ISO/TR 23462:2007 provides a framework within which an organization can establish the basis for the development of programme/project management specifications and plans when undertaking the execution of a specific programme/project. It enables the programme/project manager to establish the criteria for programme/project success and to secure the organization's commitment to the programme/project manager's management approach for the overall programme/project and its constituent elements. It includes guidelines leading to the establishment of a programme/project management framework, and identification of practices to be applied. Following these guidelines also results in traceability of the considerations and decisions on why and how the programme/project is conducted according to its specific characteristics. ISO/TR 23462:2007 provides a holistic approach for programme/project managers to apply their organization's programme/project management practices when defining the management framework for programme/project planning. It is based on a systematic method of defining the programme/project objectives and success criteria, identifying and elaborating the specific characteristics of their programme/project, specifying the management elements needed, establishing and agreeing the management approaches to be implemented, compiling these into a programme/project management framework document. The guidelines in ISO/TR 23462:2007 are applicable to any organization undertaking the execution of space programmes/projects.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 23462 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 14, Space systems and operations.

Introduction
Many documents exist which address programme/project management, and elements of these are also
addressed in ISO 14300-1 and ISO 14300-2. This Technical Report complements the aforementioned
documents by providing an overall concise, single source approach for establishing the basis for managing a
specific programme/project.
The aim of this Technical Report is to:
⎯ help the programme/project manager to prepare the programme/project specific management framework,
as an input to be used for developing detailed programme/project management plans;
⎯ promote consistency and best practice in an organization;
⎯ minimize planning omissions, thus reducing risks;
⎯ be used as a top level document, in conjunction with the application of standards in space
programme/project management;
⎯ facilitate a harmonized approach to decision making in the field of space programme/project
management.
This Technical Report supports the application of ISO 14300-1 and ISO 14300-2.

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 23462:2007(E)
Space systems — Guidelines to define the management
framework for a space project
1 Scope
This Technical Report provides a framework within which an organization can establish the basis for the
development of programme/project management specifications and plans when undertaking the execution of
a specific programme/project. It enables the programme/project manager to establish the criteria for
programme/project success and to secure the organization’s commitment to the programme/project
manager’s management approach for the overall programme/project and its constituent elements. It includes
guidelines leading to the establishment of a programme/project management framework, and identification of
practices to be applied. Following these guidelines also results in traceability of the considerations and
decisions on why and how the programme/project is conducted according to its specific characteristics.
This Technical Report provides a holistic approach for programme/project managers to apply their
organization's programme/project management practices when defining the management framework for
programme/project planning. It is based on a systematic method of
⎯ defining the programme/project objectives and success criteria,
⎯ identifying and elaborating the specific characteristics of their programme/project,
⎯ specifying the management elements needed,
⎯ establishing and agreeing the management approaches to be implemented,
⎯ compiling these into a programme/project management framework document.
The guidelines in this Technical Report are applicable to any organization undertaking the execution of space
programmes/projects.

ISO/TR 23462:2007(E)
2.3
programme/project characteristic
description of an attribute, specific to a programme/project
NOTE Programme/project characteristics are considered when determining management approaches to the
programme/project management elements.
2.4
programme/project management element
part of programme/project management, relevant to the setting-up, planning and associated processes, for
which the management approaches are elaborated
3 Process to establish the programme/project management framework
The process and the steps involved in the preparation of the programme/project management framework are
illustrated in the flowchart in Figure 1.
This flowchart guides the programme/project manager, the project team and other actors through the inter-
disciplinary and iterative activities of defining objectives, characterization and planning for the performance of
the functions relevant to each identified programme/project management element. The approaches
incorporated into the programme/project management framework document, which are subject to agreement
by the organization hierarchy, support actors and customers where applicable.
4 Process implementation guidelines
4.1 General guidelines
The guidelines in this section are numbered. Each numbered guideline is composed of the wording of the
guidelines proper, and accompanied by an explanatory text attached to the general guideline (aim) and to the
expected output.
4.2 Establishing the programme/project management framework document
4.2.1 General
The programme/project management framework document preparation should be performed in accordance
with the seven-step process illustrated in Figure 1.
⎯ Aim: to perform systematically the tasks required for the establishment of the programme/project
management framework.
⎯ Expected output: programme/project management framework document.
4.2.2 Step 1: Defining programme/project objectives and success criteria
The programme/project manager should define the mission objectives: overall technical, cost and schedule
performance, and the related mission success criteria. This should include the assessment and comparative
analysis of options, taking into account parameters for safety, reliability and quality, aiming at defining as
many verifiable requirements at this stage of the project as possible.
⎯ Aim: to ensure that all actors clearly understand the goals of the programme/project.
⎯ Expected output: documented description of the overall programme/project objectives, tied to the mission
success criteria.

be taken into account when developing the programme/project management framework document by
completing the checklist provided in Table 1. This step should include th
