Statistics Norway: use of GSBPM

Our statistical business process model is based on the work done by Statistics New Zealand, by Statistics Sweden and by METIS.

The phases we are currently using are as follows: 1. Specify Needs, 2. Design, 3. Build, 4. Collect, 5. Process, 6. Analyse and 7. Disseminate. We also have two overarching phases 8 Quality management - evaluate and feedback and 9 Support and infrastructure.

Comparison with the Generic Statistical Process Model v5.0 from December 2013 by the UNECE secretariat: The quality management part of the overarching phase Quality management/Metadata management is covered by our phase 8 Quality management - evaluate and feedback, while the Metadata management part is covered in our model by sub-processes and by our master metadata systems in the overarching phase 9 Support and infrastructure.
