Case Assessment

  • The PM² Expert Case Assessment is the first part of the PM² Expert Certification, which lasts approximately 10 weeks and is conducted 100% online through the PM² EU’s online platform. During this period, a candidate builds their PM² plans while the assessment instructor provides guidance, tips and tricks, and answers to all of his/her questions. The assessment is considered accomplished with the submission of the documented PM² project based on the following PM² Artefacts templates: Project Initiation Request, Business Case, Project Charter, Project Handbook, Project Work plan, Business Implementation Plan, the Project Logs and Project Status Report. In this context, candidates have to propose their own real projects (even completed ones). As soon as the proposed case is approved, candidates submit their PM² plans one by one for review by the assessment instructor, whose feedback can be even incorporated into the final deliverables before their evaluation.

Study Material

The exam questions are based 100% on the following European Commission’s publications:

PM² Guide 3.0, 2018
