About Standards
ISAU standards are the foundation of the profession, helping to ensure your organization’s knowledge and frameworks are up-to-date.
What is a Standard?
A standard is a document, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body, which provides for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines, or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context. Developed under a process based on the concepts of consensus, openness, due process, and balance, ISAU standards provide guidelines for achieving specific project, program, and portfolio management results.
