I would like to use the APM logoThe APM logo is trademarked and only those with specific authorisation are allowed to use it. Corporate Members, Accredited Providers, Branches and SIGs all have dedicated logos that they are authorised to use. Events which carry the APM logo are supported by the Association because they are viewed to be of value to APM members.
How can I give you feedback on the website?
If you have any problems or comments about the website contact owain.wilson@apm.org.uk.
What project management tools and techniques do you recommend?
APM doesn’t endorse any specific project management tools, techniques or software. Project management tools are useful in managing projects, but underpinning professional project management skills are required to use them effectively. These are defined in the APM Body of Knowledge.
What is PRINCE2?
PRINCE2 is a popular method, a way, of managing projects. It was developed by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) as a UK Government Standard for IT project management.
I am PRINCE2 qualified. Why should I take APM qualifications?
APM qualifications recognise the broad underpinning professional skills required to manage any project successfully. Any software, method or project management tool requires a trained, skilled professional to use it to be successful. APM qualifications recognise professionals capable of assessing their project environment, selecting the right tools for the project they are working on and managing the complexities of communication, interpersonal and management skills, as well as the process aspects of managing projects.
Who are PMI?
The Project Management Institute is an American based organisation focused on project management. With a predominantly North American membership, PMI have a small chapter of members in the UK.
Should I join APM or PMI?
The professional body you choose to be a member of depends on your profession, career and expectations. As APM is the largest body of its kind in the UK and the largest member of the International Project Management Association, APM may be more appropriate if you intend to work in the UK, or wish to network and meet UK project managers. PMI are a US based organisation whose membership is largely derived from the US. If your employer is North American, or you work predominantly in North America, PMI may be more appropriate.
Where can I buy project management books?
A full set of references from the Body of Knowledge are available through APM Publishing. For details see the 'Publishing' section of this website.
