eCourse - Organizational Project Management

 

Organizational Project Management (OPM) is defined as the execution of an organization's strategies through projects by combining the systems of portfolio management, program management, and project management.

OPM is based on the idea that there is a correlation between an organization’s capabilities in project, program, and portfolio management and the organization’s effectiveness in implementing its strategy. The goal of an organization’s strategy is to translate its vision and mission into specific actions that deliver maximum value to its stakeholders, including donors and beneficiaries. Achieving the strategy ensures continued growth in development results and sustainable competitive advantage. This is especially true in today’s increasingly competitive global environment, where organizations are constantly seeking ways to improve their capabilities and performance in delivering their strategy.

The goal of OPM is to ensure that the organization is doing the right projects and that projects are doing the right things.

This is an advanced course on the concepts, processes, and methods required to ensure that all projects and programs are aligned with the organization’s development goals. OPM is a flexible framework that integrates all projects and programs to support the organization's development goals. This course is especially useful for anyone working in a development organization seeking to improve the delivery of a project or program and ensure they are aligned with the strategic objectives. This course is particularly beneficial for organizations without a unified project management approach and for those in the process of improving or sustaining their current project management framework.

The course is based on the international standard from the Project Management Institute (PMI)

Student Feedback

“I have been working as Program Manager for the past four years, but never knew there is more to learn about Organization Program Management until when engaged in this course. It is no secret, I have learned a lot to improve my job performance.” Ibrahim Tura - Health Poverty Action, Sierra Leone

“The course was very engaging and excellent class management. The mid-week issue of the lectures and the schedule of applications is also very important. In this way, the student is encouraged to follow the progress of the forum day by day. Highly recommended.” Thomas Parma - Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development

“This is one of the best online courses I have ever done in my 15 years career in the Not-for-Profit sector and it has greatly improved my knowledge on the relevance of introducing a holistic approach to manage development projects through the Organizational Project Management (OPM) framework. The value addition of a good OPM is enormous and I can't wait to start implementing it in any organization I work for. This course is useful for everyone working in the Not-for-Profit sector where project implementation is the channel through which the goal and objectives of the organizational strategy are achieved.” Mohamed Silla—ActionAid

“I dare say, "Organizational Project Management" is a must for everyone involved in the business of executing projects for development irrespective of his/her role in the project team. Every development organization should mandate all its project and program managers to take this course if not already so done! The earlier the best!“ Henry Njakoi, Tanzania
