The IPMA ICB4® is the international standard on competence for project, programme and portfolio managers.
The competence needed for each of these domains is defined in the following competence areas: “People” (how do you interact with the people around you, and yourself); the “Practice” of our work (needed for Projects, Programmes and Portfolios); the “Perspective” of the intiatives you’re running (the context within which the initiative is run and the link to what needs to be achieved).
