5rammeverket

5rammeverket is a framework designed to guide design, development, and evaluation by organizing work around five core pillars: purpose, people, process, product, and performance. It aims to be adaptable across industries, from software development to service design and public planning. The framework stresses alignment among the pillars to achieve sustainable results.

The framework is modular. Each pillar provides guiding questions, common terminology, and a compact set of metrics. Teams map goals, stakeholders, workflows, outputs, and measurements to the five areas, identify gaps, and plan improvements through iterative reviews.

It emerged from a consortium of practitioners and researchers in the European design and tech communities during the early 2010s and has since spread to startups, universities, and some government programs.

It is used for project charters, requirements alignment, impact assessment, and performance auditing in software, services, product management, and policy planning. Advocates cite clarity and flexibility; critics warn against rigid use and superficial checklists that ignore context.

Overall, 5rammeverket offers a concise, cross-disciplinary approach that foregrounds purpose and people while balancing process, product, and performance.
