Customer testimonials
„After the changeover to ICB 4.0, there is still relatively little course material available to prepare for IPMA® Level D certification and the GPM Basic Certificate. This book addresses this target group. All three competence areas (Perspective, People, Practice) are covered in varying depth and in a clear manner. The book thus complements the GPM course materials and systematic preparation. This is all the more true as two experienced trainers have compiled the book and supplemented it with practical templates. What I would have liked, however, is a better classification of the topic, essential references and further sources or references for dealing with project management beyond the certification preparation.“
R. Wagner
„This textbook for IPMA® Level D and Basic Certificate (GPM) is a very good basis for anyone who wants to prepare for certification in a GPM training course. The book is structured according to the "Individual Competence Baseline 4", the worldwide standard for individual competencies in project management. It deals successively with context competencies, personal and social competencies, and technical competencies. The technical competencies are assigned to the project management phases of DIN 69901, which, as a common thread, greatly facilitates the understanding of the methods and their interrelationships. The book also contains numerous definitions from the GPM world, which is just as conducive to understanding as the numerous practical examples and cross-references to chapters with related content. Despite the compact 238 pages, one feels very well informed by the many details offered. In my opinion, it is also suitable for practitioners without certification intentions who want to quickly access the condensed knowledge of a worldwide leading PM standard. If you want, you can download templates for your project work from the Haufe-Verlag platform. I therefore give it a clear purchase recommendation.“
