The Praxis framework can help you and your organisation realise planned benefits from projects, programs and portfolios.
The Praxis Framework™ combines four types of best practice guidance; Knowledge, Method, Competency and Capability. It’s the first framework to integrate projects, programs and portfolio in a single guide.
Improving Project Management, Enabling Success
An entirely free, open source framework. Available on the internet and subject only to a Creative Commons licence.
- Praxis is an integrated framework encompassing knowledge, method, competency and a capability maturity model. It uses a common taxonomy and terminology across all elements, so there is no need for you to cross reference or translate between guides or methods.
- Praxis recognises one size does not fit all and can be easily tailored. Your organisation can insert their own process model, templates and content into the framework.
- The framework is community driven, so you can suggest improvements or extensions to any page and these will be considered for inclusion. Just use the comment function.
- Supported by a wealth of free resources. An encyclopaedia of tools and techniques, templates, articles, a 360° capability maturity assessment tool, a glossary of project management terminology and much more is available on the Praxis website.
These features result in greater efficiency in the adoption and implementation of good practice – reducing training and operating costs and decreasing the time needed to develop and maintain an effective project delivery infrastructure.
