Digital Twins (DTs) research still lacks of management frameworks covering their entire lifecycle. This gap has hindered their successful development and sustainment in real-world industrial settings. This paper addresses this need by proposing a first-of-its-kind DT Lifecycle Management Framework that aims to offer a comprehensive technical and managerial guide for supporting DTs across their complete lifecycle. By providing this comprehensive structure, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing international standardisation efforts, particularly of the ISO 23247 series on a “DT Framework for Manufacturing”, and offer practitioners and researchers a guide for the methodological adoption and implementation of DTs.
