Measurement activities

What this part of the draft does

The contents list names the measurement activities. The method in ISO 37004:2023 runs five of them, commit through action, and each leaves a different artefact, from the governing body resolution to the improvement plan. The draft body is not public and is not stated here.

What it means when you apply it

The five activities are the audit trail. If a reader cannot see which activity produced a document, the evaluation is harder to defend than it needs to be.

The example shows the activities in sequence, but a real programme often runs design and commitment together. What matters is that each activity leaves an artefact a later reader can date, not that the sequence is followed to the letter.

The clause reference is the draft's public contents heading. From clause 4 onwards the body is not in the free preview, so this page states the public heading, the model it draws on and our own reading, and does not present the draft's text.

What to keep beside the evaluation

A programme file with one section per activity and the artefact each produced.

• The clause reference and the edition you read, so a later reader can check it.
• The decision it supports, with an owner and a date.
• The link to the requirement rows it frames, so the clause is not an orphan page in the file.

The annex body is not in the public preview. This page describes the step the draft's contents list names and the method in ISO 37004:2023 clause 6.5, and labels it as such.
