Using PMI’S OPM3 to Build Your Company’s Project Delivery Capability

You have to be a member to view this video.

The Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) is an international standard for assessing and developing the maturity of organizations in the areas of project, program, and portfolio management. The model addresses the factors that enable organizations to create environments that promote the success of project, program, and portfolio management. OPM3 was designed to be applicable to most organizations most of the time. Over 800 professionals in 35 countries worked directly on the team that developed the OPM3 standard, and the underpinning research of the program engaged over 30,000 contributors representing a broad spectrum of organizations, geographies, and cultures. Unfortunately, people who do not have hands on experience implementing the model sometimes misinterpret the information in the standard. John Schlichter led the development of OPM3 on PMI's behalf and has implemented the model in organizations of all shapes and sizes. Come hear John explain what it means to implement this model in practical terms and how to avoid common misinterpretations of the standard.
