ITU-T SERIES A SUPP 6 PDF

Conducting a standardization gap analysis based on standards developed by other ITU study groups or other international standards development organizations (ISO, IEC and relevant ITU-T A.5-qualified organizations¹) can foster a common understanding of the work that needs to be done and can help identify potential competitive advantages and strategic standardization opportunities while optimizing the allocation of resources. This approach could be advantageous when a study group plans to:

– expand its scope,

– establish a new Question,

– form a focus group, or

– add a new work item to its work programme.

Focus groups may also develop a standardization gap analysis.

A standardization gap analysis is normally provided in a contribution to a meeting and further refined during the meeting.
