General

In line with the increasing need for a standardised and clear approach to project management, the OpenPM² initiative provides an open and free Project Management Methodology, including guidelines and working templates. Its aim is to help setting a common language and a way of working across country and organisational boundaries and across public and private sectors, as well as to increase transparency and collaboration efficiency.

The PM² course provides a solid theoretical foundation and guidelines on the practical application of project management processes, tools and techniques.

This course is based on the official Certified PM² Foundation exam by the PM² Group, and meets the exact standards and requirements of the Centre of Excellence in PM² (CoEPM²) of the European Commission.
