Open PM2 Project Management Methodology - EU Commission
About the course
PM² (pronounced “P-M squared”) is a project management methodology developed and endorsed by the European Commission (EC).[1][2] The European Commission is using this methodology officially, incorporating elements from other known Project Management Standards as: PMBOK, Prince2, IPMA-ICB, and experience from EU institutions.
The main aspects included within the PM² methodology are:
- Project governance structure
- Process guidelines
- Artefact templates
- Guidelines for using the artefacts
- Set of effective mindsets.
The OpenPM² Initiative is being used for the modernisation of European Public Administrations and increase project maturity within the EU. OpenPM² is an easy-to-use project management methodology, both for public and private organisations.
The Open PM² project management methodology course will provide current and future project managers and project team members with a solid theoretical foundation and guidance on the practical application of project management tools and techniques. This training is particularly relevant for organizations and individuals involved in international projects funded by the EU and also for those wishing to apply for EU funding.
