Knowledge, method, competency, and capability maturity
The Praxis Framework Foundation and Practitioner course teaches you about the four key pillars essential for effective project delivery. You’ll master proven methods, strengthen competencies, and understand capability maturity. Together, these integrated best practices equip you with valuable skills for managing projects confidently, enhancing team performance, and driving measurable results.
Characteristics of project, programme and portfolio management
Learn about the key characteristics of project, programme, and portfolio management allowing you to optimise delivery at every level. At the project management level, Praxis focuses on achieving specific goals within defined constraints. Programme management in Praxis coordinates multiple projects to realise strategic benefits, while portfolio management aligns all projects and programmes with organisational objectives, ensuring resources are optimised and priorities are met. This structured approach enhances clarity, control, and alignment with business goals across various initiatives.
Scope management
In the Praxis Framework, scope management ensures each project, programme, and portfolio stays aligned with its intended objectives and deliverables. Through structured processes for defining, controlling, and adjusting scope, you’ll learn how the guidance helps prevent scope creep, optimises resource allocation, and maintains focus on strategic goals. This approach strengthens project outcomes and supports successful delivery across initiatives.
