Our Mission
APM's mission statement is: "To develop and promote the professional disciplines of project and programme management for the public benefit"
APM is the largest independent professional body of its kind in Europe. We have 17,500 individual and 500 corporate members throughout the UK and abroad. Our aim is to develop and promote project management across all sectors of industry and beyond.
Five Dimensions of Professionalism
Visit our designated Five Dimesions microsite.
Project professionals make a direct contribution to the economy, environment and society by managing effective change. They are capable, accountable and committed to their profession working in all sectors and all types of projects and programmes. They experience unprecedented variety and a track-record of achievement; this provides project professionals with the benefits of exceptional job satisfaction, professional status and other rewards.
Project professionals are able to demonstrate the APM five dimensions of professionalism:
- breadth of understanding as defined by the APM Body of Knowledge,
- depth of ability in line with the APM Competence Framework,
- achievement through professional qualifications and a portfolio of evidence,
- commitment through Continuing Professional Development,
- accountability through APM membership and the code of professional conduct.
Those directly dependent on project and programme management belong to all sectors of the economy, whether defence or IT, construction or transport, pharmaceutical or engineering. They benefit from the increasing professionalism and skill levels which APM promotes across project and programme management.
The Association for Project Management has over 35 years combining its members’ extensive experience in developing the science and art of project management. This is encapsulated in the APM Body of Knowledge, qualifications and other research activities and disseminated through its members, and more widely via print, electronic media and events.
