Presentation

24HPM2 comprises different moments for training and autonomous learning:

  • 12 hours synchronous, where training and problem solving happen in a coordinated sequence;
  • 12 hours asynchronous moments, including:
    • Training webinars (online and recorded for future viewing), team building workshops and
    • Project challenges to respond to, focusing on technical and behavioral project management competences, creating a competition among the teams, relying on successful team work;
  • A set of challenges, driven by a project case scenario, for teams to practice and develop their skills and techniques.

This competition part of the event is designed to challenge the participants’ technical skills and competences, creating and exploring teamwork, leadership and communication situations, a balanced mix of training episodes and a serious game supported on a project scenario that provides the environment to strengthen technical and soft skills fundamental to the job of project manager.

A permanent focus, involving self-analysis and specific guidance, will be given to team building and soft skills promotion, as a contribution to great project management, around PM2 Mindsets for Project Management.

Recognizing that project management is fundamentally team work, this will be a team-based event, providing the context to strengthen team building skills, required for every Project Manager when building effective project teams. Communication is the vital energy of any project, amplified by the fact that online collaboration and virtual teams are the new normal.

This online event will provide a test bed for team coordination and collaboration, a challenging environment for the development and mastering of communication and team building skills.

About the PM² Essentials Certification

The PM² Essentials Certification is designed to confirm candidates’ understanding of key concepts of the PM²  Methodology. The certification exam tests the level of the candidates’ understanding on the what, when, who and how of the PM² Methodology. The exam structure is based on the four pillars of PM² and the PM² Mindsets. 

The exam questions are balanced in terms of difficulty and distribution in the 5 areas or Governance, Lifecycle, Processes, Artefacts and Mindsets. For candidates to achieve the certification they must demonstrate their understanding of the PM² concepts in an adequate level so that they will be able to work effectively as a member of a project team of a PM² project. 

About the PM² Methodology

PM² is the standard Project Management Methodology of the European Commission custom developed to fit the specific needs, culture and constraints of EU Institutions. It aims to facilitate the effective management of a project’s complete lifecycle, and increase the quality of the project management process and project results. It incorporates elements from a wide range of globally accepted project management best practices as well as European Commission’s operational experience from many projects. PM² is a light and easy to implement methodology suitable for any type of project.

​The European Commission has published PM² with an open and free license for anyone to use for the management of their projects, with a focus on projects run within the EU Institutions or funded by EU programmes. As such, working knowledge of the PM² Methodology becomes essential for anyone participating in such projects.
