Developed by hundreds of practitioners in industry and government over five years, the PMI OPM3 is a standard for industry and government that explains excellent business practices emphasizing two things: 1) choosing the right projects to execute organizational strategies, and 2) implementing the processes, structures, and behaviors necessary to deliver projects successfully, consistently, and predictably. This discipline is called Organizational Project Management or OPM. The OPM3 standard describes excellence in these two areas in terms of roadmaps from lesser to more advanced capabilities that can be assessed. Through an OPM3 assessment using this standard, an organization's current profile or level of maturity is identified, as well as the next steps toward becoming more capable.
