Founded in Switzerland in 1965, the International Project Management Association is a not for profit
federation of National Member Associations, NMAs, representing 55 project management associations
from all continents of the world.
The Organisational Competence Baseline, OCB, defines organisational competence in managing projects,
as successful project delivery requires more than competent project managers alone.
The IPMA only accepts individuals as members in the absence of a national association, when annual
membership costs €100. NMA membership includes indirect IPMA membership.
The IPMA Competence Baseline, ICB, is the IPMA
standard for PM competence development.
This is supplemented by the Addition to the ICB for
PM Consultants, ICBC.
The IPMA universal four level certification, 4-L-C,
system defines levels A to D for PM competence
on which NMAs base their own competence
models and certification programmes.

recognition and promotion, access to best practice project management information and training, and
financial discounts for APM products and services. A company with up to 50 project managers can
become APM corporate members for a registration fee of £481 plus a rolling 3 year £556 subscription.
Corporate Accreditation of a company project management professional development scheme provides
recognition in the form of APM web site accreditation listing and case study, assurance to business
stakeholders, use of APM Accredited logo, and an assessor report to help guide future development.
It also helps attract and retain PM talent, as with other professional body accreditation schemes.
Assessors look for evidence of support for the APM Five Dimensions of Project Management
Professionalism, scoring on a 1 to 5 scale for scheme commitment to the APM Body of Knowledge,
Competence Framework, Qualifications, Continuing Professional Development and Membership.
Successful applicants are accredited for three years, after which a re-assessment is required.
Accreditation assessment and annual renewal costs £1,250.

The Office of Government Commerce was an independent office of HM Treasury, established to help
Government deliver best value.
Between 2000 and 2010, the OGC acted as sponsor for best practice of Project, Programme, Risk and
Service Management.
The portfolio includes PRINCE2, M_o_R, MSP, MoP, MoV, ITIL and P3O.
This best management practice portfolio ownership was moved to the Cabinet Office in 2010.
The portfolio was managed under contract by APM Group (APMG) until 2014 when Axelos, a joint
venture between UK government and Capita, took over management of the portfolio.
The portfolio covers many project management competencies and there is significant value for project
management professionals. However, it is at turns insufficiently comprehensive, specialized, or aimed at
a corporate level not always the most appropriate to all project managers.

PRINCE was first developed in 1989 by the OGC as the standard approach to IT project management.
Since enhanced and updated to become a generic, best practice approach suitable for the management
of all types of projects. Launched in 2009, PRINCE2 is an update of this process-based approach.
Certificates have been issued in over 150 countries with 57% in the UK. This is the most widely held
project management certification in the world. Not aligned to the IPMA 4-L-C system.

ITIL is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management in the world and provides a
cohesive set of best practice, drawn from the public and private sectors internationally.
IT Service Management is driven both by technology and the huge range of organizational environments
in which it operates and is in a state of constant evolution. Best practice, based on expert advice and
input from ITIL users is both current and practical, combining the latest thinking with common sense.
Not so relevant for project managers outside the IT service domain, so not described any further here.

maximizing value in line

requirements, and not
just minimizing costs.

Summary
Project management suffers from a lack of professionalism
Managing projects is a part of most career paths. Improvement efforts are often hampered by senior
executives having successfully managed projects, persuading them that a shallow project management
competence is sufficient. If you can change the engine oil does that qualify you to rebuild the engine?
There is a vast difference between managing a small project and a large, complex project.
Developing professional competence is a significant investment
However, until a rigorous professional competence development is the norm for project managers
leading large, complex projects, don’t expect any improvement in project results.
It is also important that the environment is conducive to professional project management
Most environments require tailoring of the PM development system to suit a particular domain. But this
is only an additional layer to a common PM competence development.
The best project management competence development system will be insufficient without fully
committed executive sponsorship and a structured and consistent delivery framework.
The real benefit that justifies investment in PM professionalism is better project results
What is true for other disciplines is true for project management: the most significant change required
to consistently produce better results is more professionally competent practitioners.

Author Profile
In my board role I led a team of 22 Project Managers and 5 Quality Engineers, and ensured Roke’s £79m
project portfolio delivered better than budget profit. I set-up and ran a virtual PMO and created REP,
the Roke Engineering Process, also managing the engineering tools to support it.
After 4 years as an electronics engineer for Siemens, achieving Chartered Engineer,
I moved into project management for 14 years, at Siemens and Roke Manor Research.
Successfully delivering Roke’s most challenging whole lifecycle product developments
on time and under budget led to a role as Director and board member for 6 years.
In 2013 I returned to hands-on project management as Programme Director at
Cambridge Consultants, founder member of the Cambridge Science Park.
Creator of the APM corporate accredited PM Excellence Programme,
I chaired a quarterly PM forum to share best practice and built a
supportive PM community. I coached seven PMs to RPP, five to PQ,
and all passed APMP.
These investments in PM professionalism led to a turn-around and
annual improvement in project results across a 400 project portfolio
and delivered an above budget performance in five consecutive years
with profits totalling £7.9m above budget.
