Colleagues,
The Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards will be conducting our next workshop in Washington, DC, and we hope we can generate significant interest from US Government Agencies and other interested parties in attending. During this session, we will be focusing on finishing up the PROGRAM MANAGER competency standards.
23 to 25 October, 2009
Glenn L. Martin Engineering Bldg
University of Maryland
Washington DC
The Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS- http://www.globalpmstandards.org/about-us/general/about-us/ ) is a group of highly respected global professionals who have developed a set of Project and Program Manager COMPETENCY standards. This group formed to fill a need for a global organization that will facilitate mutual recognition and transferability of project management qualifications. Essentially, we see ourselves as “the Linux of project performance standards”.
Consistent with these concerns, not only are these standards INDEPENDENT of any specific Body of Knowledge (i.e. PMI's PMBOK) or Methodology (i.e. APM's PRINCE2) but we have made these standards freely available through "open source" or "creative commons" licensing. (Meaning anyone can download them at no cost, use them as is or adapt or improve on them, with few constraints or limitations)
To download the project manager competency standards, point your browser to http://www.globalpmstandards.org/listing/project-manager-standards with the note that the program manager competency standards should be on the internet within the coming month or so. (Pay special attention to the copyright agreement on page 2)
To conclude, the next GAPPS Workshop is scheduled to be held at the University of Maryland, October 23-26th, 2009, and we would cordially invite GAO or other US Government representatives to participate in this workshop, where you can contribute to the further development of the project and program management competency standards and/or benchmark your existing bodies of knowledge (i.e. GAO-09-3SP) or competencies (i.e. http://www.federalpm.com/articles/pm_comp.php) against those we have developed.
I have attached the invitation form and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the GAPPS secretariat, Ms. Melody Framp, secretariat@globalpmstandards.org
Also feel free to pass it along to anyone else in your network who is concerned about project management COMPETENCY and is looking for INDEPENDENT standards against which to benchmark their standards.
Respectfully,
