About the Praxis Framework
Praxis is a free framework for the management of projects, programmes and portfolios (3P). Where other project management standards choose to focus on one or two aspects of 3P expertise the Praxis Framework includes a body of knowledge, methodology, competency framework and capability maturity model.
See the Video introduction to the Praxis Framework.
This is all interlinked into one framework saving you lots of cross referencing work of trying to link the recognised standards yourself. Praxis is compatible with many other guides such as PRINCE2®, the APM Body of Knowledge and ISO21500. We have been looking for sometime to provide our users with a method aligned to the APM’s PMBoK and with the Praxis method we are delighted we can now support a whole new set of PM professionals with a method that will be familiar to them.
Projects, programmes and portfolios need to be managed in different ways depending upon their context. Praxis has a highly modular and flexible structure enables Praxis to be tailored to suit any context. In developing Method Templates for use in PROJECT in a box we have identified some common starting points for typical project and programme complexities as follows:
- Praxis for low complexity projects (launch version)
- Praxis for complex projects (coming soon)
- Praxis for projects with Agile (coming soon)
- Praxis for programmes (coming soon)
Each of these starting point include guidance on how users might tailor the project once created to deal with more or less complex contexts.
Authentic materials and guidance
The Praxis Method Templates we are producing are based on an unprecedented level of access to the Praxis material, using the official diagrams and with extensive links back from the method and templates to live guidance material on the praxis website.
A full set of templates have been prepared especially for users all branded and containing the recommended headings for document sections and links to further guidance. If used in Personal, Small Team or Enterprise Editions the template QA sections will also auto fill with key project properties.
