- Abstract
- This paper describes strategic standards management, its use by U.S. companies, and the potential use of this important methodology by DoC/NIST and other government agencies. It also describes the role of MST's Standards Advisory Committee (SAC) in defining a plan that each NIST OU can tailor to manage its own standards activities, and other agencies can similarly adopt. A checklist is provided for use by NIST OUs as they set priorities and implement activities in support of the standards-related work associated with their missions. This checklist can also be adapted for use by other Federal agencies.
