Praxis Framework™

introduction

Description of the course:

Fully optimize all aspects of project, program and portfolio delivery with the free, community driven Praxis Framework™. Combining the four pillars of effective project delivery; Knowledge, Method, Competency and Capability – Praxis is the first framework to integrate projects, programs and portfolios into a single guide.

Objectives and Summary of Course Content:

  • Completely comprehensive – encompassing knowledge, method, competency and capability.
  • Maximum efficiency – negating the need to cross reference or translate between guides by using a common taxonomy and terminology across all areas. 
  • The only best practice guide that supports all elements of the UK Government’s Project Delivery Standard.
  • Community driven – Praxis practitioners are encouraged to actively share insights and suggest improvements to any page of the framework, which will be considered for inclusion.
  • Easily tailorable to any project context.
  • Continual development – the entire framework is available for free online, empowering you to undertake professional development wherever and whenever needed.
