Standard practice
Webb, Alan
Standard practice - 2005 - Project 18(1) June 2005, 28(1) .
Examines the production of management standards which are increasing in their numbers and influence. Notes how the Association of Project Management is making sure that it has an input into the committees within the British Standards Institution that decide these standards. This is to ensure that the standards conform to the realities of the work of project managers. Mentions the BS 5750 series of total quality management standards published during the 1980s which was widely seen as a guarantee of quality but attracted widespread criticism for being inappropriate to actual circumstance and for money being spent for no clear business benefit.
