XPMS (Experiential Production Management Standard)

Also: experiential production management standard, XPMS 2.5

XPMS is the Experiential Production Management Standard, a structured taxonomy that gives live-event and experiential production a common language for planning, executing, and auditing work. Version 2.5, the current release, defines 9 gated phases, 10 department classes, 79 disciplines, and 406 canonical work atoms, each atom carrying 44 fields in the standard's SSOT Bible. Because tasks, budget lines, catalogs, and compliance checks all anchor to the same taxonomy, teams and tools interoperate without renegotiating vocabulary on every project. The ATLVS ecosystem ships XPMS 2.5 as its default base kit: a new organization arrives pre-seeded with the standard's phases, department classes, and atom catalog, and layers its own customizations on top.
