ÖNORM EN 13290-1

1.1 General This standard is designed to facilitate the elaboration of a management system which is cost effective, appropriate to the project in which it is implemented, compatible with the actors existing structures and which has the flexibility to adapt to changing needs throughout all the phases of an evolving projed, and to new projects. It contains the basic requirements and overall principles to be applied for the management of space projects, from definition of mission objectives to final disposal. It defines the scope and interfaces of this discipline with the activities relative to the domains of engineering and product assurance, and explains how they are to be interrelated to ensure customer satisfaction. The set of related standards apply to all the actors for the execution of a space project. This standard: presents and describes the documents generated for conducting the managerial and technical activities associated with the deployment and execution of space projects; defines the basic management rules for the execution of space projects; defines the applicability of these rules to all the actors in these projects, including for example space agencies, industry and scientific laboratories; identifies project requirements without imposing a particular organizational structure on the actors; proposes how these requirements can be tailored to specific project needs. 1.2 Space standards domains The space standards have been grouped in three branches, designated as management, product assurance and engineering. The management standards define the process requirements to be applied to the overall project activities during the life cycle. They describe what needs to be achieved to establish project breakdown structures (e.g. product tree, work breakdown structure), the project organization and cost and schedule management, and cover also the management of configuration, documentatio (...abbreviated)
