Organizational Project Management Framework
a strategy execution framework that utilizes portfolio, program,
and project management as well as organizational-enabling
practices to consistently and predictably deliver organizational
strategy to produce better performance, better results, and a
sustainable competitive advantage

PMI standards are intended to provide information and instruction for the
application of standards and/or best practices for project management. Key
purposes of this standard include:
Providing guidelines that are consistent with OPM maturity models,
which can be used to determine capability gaps between the current
state of the organization and the desired future state;
Defining capabilities as the collection of people, processes, and
technologies that enable an organization to deliver OPM;
Providing direction to an organization to develop a knowledge-based
competency in line with market or sector requirements; and
Providing an organization with a minimum competency required to
effectively move in a strategic direction.

OPM bridges the gap between the organization’s vision and mission with
portfolio, program, and projects underway, through coordination, alignment,
and implementation to meet the organization’s strategic objectives.
Understanding the organizational strategy is one of the initial steps that
serves as the foundation during an OPM implementation. Gaining
knowledge of the organization’s strategy provides the basis for
understanding where the organization wants to go and how it wants to get
there.A common organizational goal is to achieve the expected strategic
objectives and benefits consistently. The challenge of aligning business
units’ operations with larger mission objectives for the entire organization is
the driving force behind the implementation of project management
framework, processes, and practices.
