About This Item
TSE ISO/TR 21506 is a vocabulary standard that defines terms used in the field of project, programme and portfolio management. As a terminology document, it helps different organizations use the same concepts consistently and reduces confusion between project, programme and portfolio management.
How the terms fit into management practice
Project management concerns temporary endeavours aimed at a defined outcome; programme management coordinates related projects so their combined benefits can be managed; portfolio management addresses the selection and balance of initiatives that support an organization’s strategic objectives. This vocabulary provides a common language for those concepts and helps limit variation in interpretation among stakeholders.
Scope and practical context
The standard applies to terms that can be used by any type of organization, public or private, and across projects, programmes and portfolios of any complexity, size or duration. In practical terms, it is not limited to a single sector; it can support conceptual consistency in fields such as services, manufacturing, technology, infrastructure and transformation programmes.
Because this is a vocabulary document, it differs from a methods standard: it does not define a project-management process framework here, but clarifies the language used to describe the discipline. That makes it useful in documentation, training materials, corporate policy texts and communication around governance and delivery.
