Project Management Links, Resources & Events

Pyramid8 - The project management specialists

Project Management is the discipline of organising and managing resources in such a way that the project is completed within defined scope, quality, time and cost constraints.

For candidates looking to increase their project management skills or for organisations seeking to incorporate project management the following best practice organisations may be useful.



Association for Project Managers (APM)
The APM is the largest independent professional body of its kind in Europe.  They have over 15,000 individual and 400 corporate members throughout the UK and abroad.  Their aim is to develop and promote project management across all sectors of industry and beyond. www.apm.org.uk

PRINCE2™ Project Management Methodology
PRINCE2 is a method for managing projects. It helps you work out who should be involved and what they will be responsible for.  It gives you a set of processes to work through and explains what information you should be gathering along the way.  But PRINCE2 doesn’t do the work for you, it cannot guarantee that your projects will be successful.  Good projects, which deliver quality results, on-time and within budget are dependent on the quality of people involved from Project Board down to individual team members. www.prince2.org.uk

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP)
Programme Management, like project management, is a management tool for bringing together people, activities and information to achieve something.  Programme Management is a way of approaching the setting up and running of a programme. A programme is made up of a set of projects identified by an organisation that together will deliver strategic objectives for the organisation. www.programmes.org
