  Project Management Standards, Methodologies and Models

  

  The discipline of project management may, upon first glance seem a well defined profession. Nothing is farther from the truth in the sense that there are multiple standards, methdologies and models all trying to describe some, most or all (really?) aspects of "Project Management"

   

  Below you will find an overview of these standards, methdologies and models for as far as we at Ambidexter Management have been able to find.

   

  Some are international or national standards, some are proprietarry models owned by private companies and organizations, others are public domain and some are something else all together.

   

  For organizational sake we have, loosly arranged them as follows: (Complete List)
  • Standards

    • Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS)

      The GAPPS is a unique alliance of government, private industry, professional associations and training/academic institutes working together to develop globally applicable project management competency based standards, frameworks and mappings. The GAPPS standards and frameworks are intended to facilitate mutual recognition and transferabiltiy of project management qualifications.

      The aim of the GAPPS is to provide the global project management community with information that is freely available for use by businesses, academic institutions, professional associations, and government standards and qualifications bodies globally.

      Although most so called public domain methodologies are not strictly public domain - there is often a registration mark holder or copy right holder - those that are placed in this category can be freely used and are freely available.
