New community driven portal

Posted on 07 Jun 2016

Until now Praxis has not contained external links. We have focused on developing our own content that is fully interlinked and searchable from the home page. We are now inviting you to let us know about other valuable, free resources relevant to all those involved in project, programme and portfolio management.

We launched in 2014 with our core framework (comprising a Body of Knowledge, Method, Competency Frameworkand Maturity Model) and supporting encyclopaedia of tools and techniques. In our second year we added the maturity assessment tool, the comparative glossary of terminology and translations of the core framework into Italian and Spanish.

Our next phase of development for the Praxis web site will build a community driven portal to much of the excellent content that is freely available on the web.

Here are just a few examples, both large and small, of the sort of material that could be included:

TitleSourceFormat and lengthNotes
Schedule Assessment Guide (terminology included in the Praxis comparative glossary)GAO1PDF; 240 pagesAn extensive guide to scheduling. While primarily aimed at major capital projects there is useful material for projects of all types.
Using Earned Value/stable baselines with NEC Contract projectsODA2PDF; 2 pagesA lessons learned report on Earned Value Management from the London 2012 Olympics
Organisational Competence BaselineIPMA3On-line e-reader; 112 pagesAn organisational competency framework, similar in its aims to a maturity model.
Provide leadership to the projectUKCES4PDF; 5 pages

A competency definition for project leadership

These links will appear in the resource pages, classified according to the taxonomy of the Praxis Framework.

Some guidelines for the type of content to be included are:

  • Clearly relevant to the project, programme and portfolio discipline
  • Knowledge based reference material (i.e. no software tools)
  • Free without registration (we may consider material for which registration is required providing we are happy this is not simply a marketing tool)
  • No articles or opinion pieces (these are covered by our articles and blogs section)

Please contact us at info@praxisframework.org with your suggestions for material that will help your fellow P3 management professionals.
