“In order to best achieve the business strategy, project management is a critical success factor.  Organizational Project Management is a way to link project management, program management, and portfolio management to the business strategy.  OPM3 is an assessment approach that will help you identify the strengths and any gaps in your project management execution so that you can best achieve your business strategy.” – Stephen Desirey, PMP, Independent Business Supply Chain Consultant

“I actually signed up to take the course because I wanted to understand my organization’s own maturity level for the project management section.  And what I found is once I took the course, I really understood what my whole organization is trying to do with project, portfolio and program management.  I didn’t realize that we were working on a maturity plan until I took the course.  And I actually would recommend every project manager in my organization take the class.  I think it would be a great tool to help understand the goals of the company much better.”– BJ Auman, PMP

“Anyone should take this course who is interested in improving their ability to achieve their organization’s results.” – Gary Somma, PMP
