The main thrust of this though is that they are looking at your ability to think beyond what you do and begin to explore how you do things and why, and what other options there may be.
I have taken the liberty of cutting out some of the unnecessary words from the APM wording to provide a more clear and uncluttered view that might help.I hope this helps clear things up a bit, I regularly have these conversations with many applicants and thought that writing it down might help a few of you. I have written a separate article on Governance; do a Google and you will find it.These are tested at interview. Some simply refer to the contract if it is comprehensive enough. Hard copies are available by request, as indicated below. All Consolidated Plan documents can be viewed and downloaded from our Plans, Policies and Reports page. Incidentally, as the Competence Framework self-assessment asks for assessment of technical knowledge against a scale it’s a jolly good job that there is precious little technical knowledge to demonstrate, namely that an individual knows about a) Formats for consolidated plans and b) The purpose of a consolidated plan and how to prepare a consolidated plan. Understanding this background is important as it helps unpick what is necessary to demonstrate this mandatory (Consolidated Planning) competence. In that they do not necessarily need to relate to your experience means that they CAN relate to your experience. However, it still had a lot of traction in the industry, primarily because most training organisations had it embedded in their material and the APM were still examining it as part of the APMP (latterly APM-PMQ) qualification. © 2020 Parallel Project Training - APM Project Management Training VAT Registration Number 978977812PMP, PMI, PMBOK® Guide, are registered trademarks of Project Management Institute, Inc.PRINCE2® is a registered tradeword of Axelos Ltd.The second edition of the Competence Framework was released in 2015 and was updated to accommodate Change Initiatives aligning with the context of BoK 6. The public comment period began on Monday, November 18, 2019 and closed on Tuesday, December 17, 2019. Eligible activities to address the needs of homeless or unstably housed individuals and families impacted by COVID-19 include: When I wrote the APM-APMP and then the APM-PMQ study guide a large section was devoted to do just that.Please bear in mind that Consolidated Planning is tightly interwoven with the APM Governance competence as it refers to the governance of a project.
The statutory goals of the Consolidated Plan are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The concept of a project plan is a larger, more comprehensive, document than just a Gannt Chart.There are a couple of obvious issues with this, one, what if there isn’t a ‘definition’ phase and secondly, how can there be a Project Management Plan for a programme? Overall, you could be excused for thinking that the term was becoming irrelevant to contemporary project management disciplines. This is quite interesting as the APM were effectively examining something that was not considered to be important enough to appear in the Body of Knowledge. It should be noted that apart from this one fairly clear link there is no other reference that Google can find of any authoritative references. This then is the first time Consolidated Planning emerges as a term.Some industries and conventions use other terms, such as Project Execution Plan, Project Quality Plan, Project Charter, etc. The 2020 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2020-2021 One Year Action Plan is now available for review and comment now until 5:00 p.m. on May 31, 2020. I will let you ponder that and return to it later. The general rule of thumb is that any of these terms are applicable so long as the document in question fulfils the same role and comprises substantially the same contents. Again, I have tried to describe the relationship between the competence framework and the ChPP guidance and supplied my own rather stripped down version that might help. The trouble is that contracts contain schedules and this nuance of terminology can become confusing, so applicants are advised to not use the term schedule for anything other than the time phased plan.
