Policy

An organization's formal set of guiding principles and consistent practices that direct how it behaves and makes decisions.

Key Points

  • Policies are high-level, principle-based directives that guide organizational behavior and choices.
  • They set mandatory boundaries for projects; plans and deliverables must comply.
  • Policies differ from procedures (step-by-step) and standards (specific measurable rules).
  • They are shaped by strategy, ethics, and regulations, and enforced through governance.

Example

A company has a data privacy policy requiring encryption of customer information and least-privilege access. The project manager ensures requirements, design, and testing include encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance reviews before accepting deliverables.
