Half-Day Seminar - (4.0 PDUs)

The purpose of the standard is to help organizations understand and appreciate organizational project management maturity and its value in the execution of organizational strategy. The standard guides organizations in the assessment of their current state of organizational project management maturity and in their efforts to improve their capabilities.

Just as individuals benefit from achieving personal maturity, organizations can benefit from achieving organizational project management maturity. The new OPM3^tm model from PMI offers organizations a comprehensive approach to assessing and developing their ability to deliver projects successfully, consistently and predictably. The new standard offers the key to organizational project management maturity with three interlocking elements.

Learn about the elements of OPM3^tm . . .

• Knowledge - sharing best PM practices
• Assessment - identifying areas to improve
• Improvement - steps to achieve goals

Just as no project management practitioner should be without a copy of the PMBOK^® Guide, no organization can afford to be without this valuable resource. OPM3^tm helps organization leaders understand organizational project management maturity to improve their approach to managing multiple projects and resources in order to achieve strategic goals.

Key Topics

What is Organizational Project Management Maturity?
The term "organizational project management maturity" describes an organization's overall ability to select and manage projects in a way that supports its strategic goals.

What is the Purpose of OPM3^tm?
OPM3's primary function is to be a standard for organizational project management and organization project management maturity.

What Sets OPM3^tm Apart From Other Maturity Models?
OPM3's unique feature is the interactive database application accessible on the CD-ROM that warehouses the hundreds of Best Practices, and thousands of Capabilities, Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators, as well as the thousands of dependencies between and among Best Practices-the first Standard of its kind to be published by PMI.

Can I apply OPM3^tm in My Organization?
OPM3^tm is designed to be easy to understand and use, as well as be scalable, flexible and customizable. It is able to accommodate a wide range of individualized needs and objectives, and will address the requirements of organizations of all types and sizes.

Used on its own, OPM3^tm can help organizations improve the link between corporate strategies and project outcomes. When executed in concert with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) and Project Manager Competency Development Framework, OPM3^tm represents a cohesive, comprehensive approach to guiding individuals, managing projects and achieving organizational strategies.
