Dear Colleagues,
PTMC is pleased to announce that Bali, Indonesia has been selected as the site of the next Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS) workshop, http://www.globalpmstandards.org/ where we will be FINALIZING the development of PROGRAM MANAGER competency standards for release as an exposure draft. http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/program-manager-standards/current-status.html .
This 3 day event is scheduled for 5, 6 and 7 February, 2010, Kuta, Bali. (See below for detailed itinerary)
For those not familiar with the Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards, we are an Australian based, globally recognized NOT FOR PROFIT professional organization, http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/about-us.html dedicated to creating COMPETENCY standards for project http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/project-manager-standards/download-latest-update.html and program managers which are INDEPENDENT of any single body of knowledge, methodology or organization.
But more importantly for Indonesia and other developing nations, we have put these standards into the “public domain” under “open source” or “creative commons” license, meaning anyone is free to download them and use them at any time, at NO COST. (See page 2 of the standards for the copyright agreement) http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/project-manager-standards/download-latest-update.html
For background information, the work GAPPS is doing is supported by Motorola, Shell Oil, American Express, NASA Academy, ESC Lille, UTS Sydney, Bond University, University of Maryland, Cambridge University, South African Government, Queensland Government, International Project Management Association (IPMA), Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International (AACE) and many other academic, professional, governmental and private sector organizations. Several leading Indonesian practitioners have played a active role over the past 10 years in developing these standards and making them available at no cost. http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/current-members/
We truly hope that Asian academics, practitioners, companies, NGO’s, professional organizations and GoI representatives will join this 3 day workshop.
