Learn how to integrate standardisation into research projects from planning through implementation.
How can standardisation become an active part of a research project rather than an afterthought? This module focuses on the practical integration of standardisation into research projects, showing how it can be considered from the earliest stages of project design through to implementation and follow-up.
You will explore how to:
- identify standards that are relevant to a project
- assess the potential role of the standards
- determine where the standards can add value
The module looks at how standardisation considerations can be incorporated into project objectives, work plans, technical activities and stakeholder engagement, helping teams make more informed decisions throughout the research process.
Particular attention is given to the need for a structured approach. Rather than treating standardisation as a one-off task, the module shows how it can be monitored and managed across the research lifecycle as technologies, project needs and external requirements evolve.
By the end of the module, you will have a clearer understanding of how to embed standardisation into project planning and implementation, and how to manage related activities in a more systematic and strategic way.
