This adoption handbook supports the programme and project data standard, which sets expectations for how programme and project data should be defined, formatted and updated across government.
It is designed for anyone involved in creating and managing data in government programmes and projects. It provides practical guidance to help organisations transition from their current data practices to full compliance with the standard.
By using this handbook, you can:
