The most important thing that this methodology brings, in my opinion, is a common language among different departments and people, in terms of homogenisation of terminology, processes, roles, requirements and expectations.

The standardization and methodology offered by PM² limits the possibility of reduced performance of each team working on a project. Regarding the exam preparation, the online demo serves to familiarize candidates with the exam environment.

The PM² Methodology provides artefacts that are quick to implement. The phases of the project are clear. Role and responsibilities are transparent and can help in avoiding any misunderstandings. In a company dealing with EU contracts this will become a key skill.

The methodology can create a path, a procedure, through which a project can be implemented and documented efficiently. It is important to highlight the documentation part, because it is crucial for the decision makers to have a clear view of what went right and wrong in a project.

It was a straight-forward process of multiple-choice questions on an easy to use platform. If one studies and prepares well, then all questions can be answered within the time allowed.

It was fine. The system is quite friendly and easy-to-use. A big advantage is that one can go back and forward as many times as needed, during the provided exam time, and consult or modify the answers.

Besides studying the PM2 Guide, including its Annexes, doing some tests on the PM2 Platform before the official exam is really useful in order to become familiar with the type of questions, fit in the provided time, get used to the system and its interface...

"Generally no need for stress. It is a relatively easy examination, if of course the corresponding preparation has preceded. The online demo serves to familiarize candidates with the exam environment."

The preparation for the exam is demanding, but the result will definitely be worth the effort. The choice of a competent instructor, with the necessary certifications, is also very important in order for the student to fully grasp the methodology components, pass the exam, and to implement the knowledge acquired in real projects.

Take the exam relatively soon after completing your studying/preparation. Fresh memory helps given there is terminology and contents that one needs to remember. Other than that, it should be very feasible to pass the exam if you study all components of the methodology well (e.g. roles, definitions, templates/documents contents, phases etc.)

The PM² Methodology: Europe's Methodology

PM² (pronounced “P-M square”) is a Project Management Methodology developed by the European Commission.

A versatile and customizable solution fitting any industry, project type and level of experience

Apart from lean and easy-to-use, PM² is also open-source and free, allowing project teams to tailor the methodology according to their needs, while the wide adoption of PM² has been proven to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and success of the thousands of projects and programmes undertaken by European Union Institutions, Member State Public administrations and private organisations. The simplicity of the methodology makes it a powerful tool, suitable for both newbie or experienced project managers, as well as for organisations and companies wishing to start their PM journey but do not have the required tools, resources, and knowledge.

Benefits

The PM² provides:

A Project Governance Model

One of the pillars of good management is governance. Governance provides the framework within which project management decisions are made. It defines all standard project management roles and their associated responsibilities while describing escalation and reporting lines.

The PM² Lifecycle

The PM² Methodology defines four project management phases. This is an effective way to group the many management activities that take place during a project, and to focus the attention of the project team in those activities that are necessary during that period of time. The decision to move from one phase to the next is taken during a relevant Phase Gate and depends on whether the goals of that phase has been satisfactorily achieved.

The PM² Processes

The PM² Methodology defines a set of project management processes and activities which are carried out throughout the life of the project, and in most cases, are executed in an iterative manner. The management processes are detailed in the 6 PM² management plans and in the Monitor & Control process group.

The PM² Artefacts

The PM² Methodology proposes the creation of a set of Artefacts that facilitate the definition, management and communication of projects. PM² offers a complete set of project templates and detailed guidelines on how to use them.

The PM² Mindsets

The PM² Mindsets are the attitudes and behaviours that help project teams focus on what is really important to achieve the project’s goals. Together they help navigate the complexities of managing projects in Organisations and make the PM² Methodology both more effective and complete.
