The book contains the complete scope of learning for the IPMA Level D certification and the GPM Basislevel in an English exam.It offers numerous examples, templates for project management methods and practical tips.

The IPMA (International Project Management Association) defines global standards for professional project management. The three competence areas of the current standard ICB4.0 (Individual Competence Baseline) Perspective (context), People (personal and social) and Practice (methods and technical) provide the certification framework for project managers. The competence-based approach of IPMA enables the transfer into practice and goes beyond the pure knowledge acquisition of other certifications solely based on tools and methods. In this way, the transfer to everyday project management can be managed successfully.

Contents:
