3. What is GSBPM?
The GSBPM describes and defines the set of business processes needed to produce official statistics.
standard framework and harmonised terminology
helps statistical organisations to modernise their statistical production processes, as well as to share methods and components
can also be used for integrating data and metadata standards, as a template for process documentation, for harmonizing statistical computing infrastructures, and to provide a framework for process quality assessment and improvement.

4. What is GSBPM?
Published by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
current version 5.0 (December 2013)
based on Joint UNECE / Eurostat / OECD Work Sessions on Statistical Metadata (METIS) => Common Metadata Framework (CMF)

5. What is GSBPM? Relation to other standards
GSBPM ver. 5 is fully aligned with version 1.1 of the Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM)

6. What is GSBPM? Relation to other standards
GSBPM ver. 5 provides a basis for the implementation of the Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA)

7. What is GSBPM? Structure
Phases of the statistical business process (8)
Sub-processes within each phase (44)
In practice, activities do not need to follow the strict order of the model. In specific cases, some activities may not be applicable, some activities may go in different order or may be repeated.
Over-arching processes that apply throughout the eight phases, and across statistical business processes

9. What is GSBPM? Over-arching processes Quality management
Metadata management
Data management
Process data management
Knowledge management
Statistical framework management
Statistical program management
Provider management
Customer management

10. What is GSBPM? Over-arching processes – more general
Human resource management
Financial management
Project management
Legal framework management
Organisational framework management
Strategic planning

11. What is GSBPM? Main changes from the version 4.0
Phase 8 (Archive) has been removed, and incorporated into the over-arching process of data and metadata management
A new sub-process: "Build or enhance dissemination components" has been added within the "Build" phase
Several sub-processes have been re-named to improve clarity
The descriptions of the sub-processes have been updated and expanded where necessary. The terminology used has been changed to be less survey-centric, in recognition of the growing use of non-survey sources (administrative data, big data etc.).

Evidence of users‘ requests
Internal & external users describe their needs
Change of the process (questionnaire, processing…)
Data (new data, complaints about accuracy…)
Task force (methodologists & domain experts) evaluates requests – the sub-system keeps record of:
Decision
Reasoning
Further steps
Reports for management
