Methods for managing standards

This invention describes a way to teach IT professionals how to manage various technical standards within their organization. It works by instructing them to treat each standard as a tracked item, similar to a piece of equipment or software, within the Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF). This ensures that any changes to a standard are formally reviewed and approved, and the standard's status is always known, all specifically within the MOF system.

Why it matters: Filed when MOF was a leading framework. While the principles of managing standards as configuration items remain crucial, modern IT environments leverage automated configuration management and broader ITSM frameworks like ITIL 4, making the MOF-specific instruction less relevant.
