| Standard | Source | Requirement | Where it shows up here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integrated planning and reporting | NSW Integrated Planning and Reporting framework (community strategic plan, delivery program, operational plan, annual report); PGPA Act 2013 (Cth) corporate plans and annual performance statements (RMG 132, 134) | Plan, programs and report are one line of sight from outcome to indicator. | Strategic, delivery and operational plans; outcomes with indicators; programs linked to outcomes; reports drafted from the same record (GL-PG-04). |
| Program and portfolio management | Managing Successful Programmes (MSP); PRINCE2; PMBOK; ISO 21502 and 21503; P3M3 | Defined ownership, baselines, benefits, dependencies and stage gates. | Owner, baseline, benefits and dependencies on every program; the planning agent keeps the map current; re-baselines are gated. |
| Earned value and variance | ANSI/EIA-748 earned value management; Gateway reviews (AU, UK) | Compare budget burn with schedule progress; act at a threshold. | The tracking agent computes burn against elapsed schedule and flags variance at 15 points, with its cause (GL-PG-05). |
| Baseline control | Change control in PRINCE2 and MSP; Gateway | Baselines change only by decision; the original is kept. | A re-baseline is drafted by the agent and decided by the executive; every baseline is on the record (GL-PG-01, 06). |
| Benefits realisation | MSP benefits management; APS benefits realisation guidance | Every program names its benefits and the measure that will show them. | Benefits on each program map to live KPI series. |
| Performance measurement | PGPA performance statements (RMG 131); Productivity Commission Report on Government Services; OECD performance budgeting | Indicators with targets, collected from the source system, reported against outcomes. | KPI series with targets and direction, collected live from the services with source and time (GL-PG-03). |
| Annual reports | PGPA Rule annual report requirements (RMG 135); NSW Local Government Act s 428 and Annual Reports Acts; GRI and integrated reporting as comparators | Report performance, finances and governance by the statutory date, certified by the accountable authority. | The reporting agent drafts every section from the record; the CFO certifies; the accountable officer publishes; the due date is on the report (GL-PG-02, 07, 08). |
| Statutory deadlines | Annual report tabling deadlines (Cth 15 October; NSW councils 30 November; states vary) | Know the date; start early. | Every statutory report carries its due date and the agent drafts well before it (GL-PG-08). |
| Audit and traceability | ANAO and audit office performance audits; ISO 15489 | Every figure traceable to its source and time. | Every figure in a report names the table it came from and when it was read (GL-PG-07). |
| Accessibility and plain language | WCAG 2.2 AA; ISO 24495-1 | Every screen usable with assistive technology; reports the public can read. | Interfaces designed against WCAG 2.2 AA with conformance evidenced per deployment; published reports on a public page. |
