First German language teaching material on project management according to IPMA ICB4
The textbook "Project Management - Certification according to IPMA(ICB4) Levels D and C" was written under the leadership of AWK employees and structured according to the new ICB4.
Project management is a so-called competence domain. At the end of 2016, the International Project Management Association (IPMA) published version 4.0 of the Individual Competence Baseline (ICB4). The broadly applicable IPMA standard, which comprehensively targets the skills of project managers, is particularly important in the European region.
Worldwide, more than 50 country organizations now support IPMA, so that by the end of 2016, around 250,000 project managers had been certified at various levels.
Three areas of competence
The structure of the teaching material is based on the three areas in project management according to ICB4: Context (interaction with the parent organisation and society), People (personal and social competencies) and Practices (technical management competencies).
Analogous to previous versions, the ICB4 describes the "what" about project management. In addition to this, AWK's Project Management competence area summarises its specific know-how on the "how" and contributes its practical experience in project management.
Target group
The teaching material is aimed at anyone who leads projects, works on projects or is involved in project delivery, wants to improve their competence in project management, is seeking IPMA Level D or C certification in project management and teaches or develops training courses in project management.
The book "Project Management - Certification according to IPMA(ICB4) Levels D and C." - basics and competencies, methods and techniques with numerous examples is available from AWK Group:
