GS1 System Development Process

Objectives• Implement a single system development process across

GS1

• Achieve a common and integrated process for standards, guidelines, solutions and services

• Leverage the best practices for process management across GS1

• Will ensure that development includes relevant industry and technical expertise

• Will ensure guiding principles of existing GS1 standards development are maintained(GSMP and EPCglobal SDP)

Governance

• Standards will be ratified by GS1 Management Board• Board Committee for Standards will review standards and make

recommendation to MB. (Informal advice and guidance from EPCglobal Board Technology Committee as required)

• Solutions/Services releases are approved by GS1 CEO• GS1 Architecture Group

• Reviews and provides recommendations for all relevant business requirements, standards, solutions and services under development against the GS1 Architecture through the Architecture Review Process

• Process Leadership Committee• Combination of roles of GSMP Process Group and EPCglobal Business

and Technical Steering Committee

• Oversight of process and system development work for standards

21

Clarification of Business Needs Versus Business Requirements

Business Needs• Definition and prioritization of generic business

opportunities and problems that an industry wants to solve

• Expected impact on community (e.g. financial, geographic)

• Business case definitionBusiness Requirements• Detailed process understanding and detailed specification

of what end users will require in order to solve the problem or take advantage of business opportunity

• Includes specific parameters and details that can be used to define a standard, guideline, solution or service

22

Business Needs and Requirements

• Business Needs and Business Requirements should define the need for:• GS1 Standards• GS1 Solutions• GS1 Services

• Then it can be determined if the needs apply to:• Maintenance of EXISTING Standard, Solution or Service• Or a NEW Standard, Solution or Service

23

Definitions (Expanded definitions in GS1 Glossary of Terms)

GS1 Standards: Specifications for identifiers, attribute data, bar codes, RFID tags, data exchange and interfaces that ensure interoperability and consistency throughout supply chains. (e.g. EPCIS, Party Sync)

GS1 Solutions: Bundled package of GS1 Standards and/or services designed to meet a business need. (e.g. Traceability, Extended Packaging)

GS1 Services: Facilities or software that provide benefit or assistance in support of the implementation of GS1 standards and solutions. (e.g. ONS, GR, GEPIR)

All GS1 Standards, Services and Solutions are created using GS1 System Development Process

These are working definitions and subject to change as a result of ISDP work.

accountable for GS1 relationship with industries

• An integrated GS1 System development process• Uniform User experience

• Community-Room, infrastructure (i.e., CR system)

• Communication

IT Support and Infrastructure

• Common Telco provider and web tools• Web presence

• Integration of Community Rooms• Integration of EPCglobal into Knowledge Center

45

Legal Considerations for Standards Development

• GS1 Anti-trust Policy needs to be reviewed to best address what is required

• GS1 Intellectual Property Policy based on EPCglobal Policy should be signed by all participants of ISDP

• IP Council should review workgroup charters and confirm whether IP protection (opt-in) is required

• Call for IP declarations will be included at appropriate steps in detailed process for appropriate groups

• An updated code of conduct will be developed to best address what is required for GS1. Legal input required.
