European Commission's 2018 Survey among PM² users

The PM² Certification Exams test the level of the candidates’ understanding of the what, when, who, how and why of the PM² Methodology. The exams’ content is balanced in terms of difficulty and distribution in the 4 pillars of PM² (Governance, Lifecycle, Processes, Artefacts), as well as the PM² Mindsets. To complete the exam successfully, participants need to be sufficiently familiar with these PM² concepts, so that they can keep up with the steps of a PM² project, as well as communicate effectively with PM² team members and Project Managers. By studying and therefore understanding PM² at an adequate level, candidates acquire the necessary skills to effectively apply PM² in their project work and, consequently, deliver solutions and benefits to their organisations and stakeholders.
