Ten reasons why PM² is your top methodology pick!
The PM² Project Management Methodology helps project teams address the challenges of project management and allows them to do “better’ project management, towards a non-ending journey to improvement. It also enables organizations to implement their projects in an increasingly effective and efficient manner.
Since its wider introduction to the EU, and later on, to the whole open project management community, many have realized its value and usefulness. Below are 10 reasons why PM² is a top choice when it comes to Project Management Methodologies:
- It’s a European Project Management Methodology. The European project management community is happy and proud to see PM² being established as a common project management methodology for all EU-funded projects, for all European Institutions, for the whole of Europe, but also beyond Europe – at a global scale.
- It’s open-source and, therefore, free to use and reproduce anyway anyone needs to. The PM² Guide and the artefacts are available to be downloaded, copied, changed and freely used. Reproduction and reuse are encouraged.
- It is comprehensive and concise. It includes all the necessary elements to address the methodology needs of public administrations and private sector companies alike.
- It is light, lean, and easy to understand. It focuses on the essentials without trying to be an encyclopedia of project management. It explains project management and helps you understand it in a simple and visual way.
Have you become a signatory yet?
- It is significantly flexible. The methodology is designed to be at the service of the project and not vice versa. It is possible to tailor it to cover the needs of different projects and organisations to ensure that it adds value and not bureaucracy. And if you need more project or industry-specific processes or practices, you can easily incorporate them.
- Its powerful project governance model clearly defines the different roles and responsibilities so they can be uniquely assigned to team members avoiding potential conflicts and decision-making inefficiencies.
- It provides a common language for all those who work in project management. When we all understand and share the same concepts, we can focus on the actual work.
- The PM² Alliance provides a fairly priced certification scheme. Now anyone can certify their knowledge of the methodology by pursuing one of the PM² Alliance online certifications.
- It incorporates many globally recognized good practices, while elements of other international project management standards or frameworks can be easily integrated without conflicts.
- It is based 100% on common sense and it’s usable from the first moment by any person and by any organization. Written in a friendly and a non-intimidating language, the guidelines, the templates and the methodology guide itself, allow project teams to start applying it progressively and quickly.
