DPMM - Dynamic Project Management Method Foundation

What is DPMM?

DPMM stands for Dynamic Project Management Method. The method offers a structured and consistent approach to project management, supporting all roles within a project management team.

It is compatible and complementary with P3.express, PRINCE2®, the PMBOK® Guide and other widespread methods, standards and frameworks.

 

Why DPMM?

If you are looking:

  • to change the basis of your existing project management system away from a proprietary, high total cost of ownership product to one, which is free to use, with as little rework as possible
  • to expand your existing project management system, based on a minimalist approach like P3.express, with topics not covered therein
  • for a basis for your new project management system, which is free to use, but need more a minimalist system like P3.express offers
  • For a project management system with an internationally recognised certification, with certificates valid for life, backed by a reputable examination institute

Then DPMM is a solution for you.

How does DPMM work?

DPMM integrates an agile approach and can dynamically adapt to the project context: The project's product is delivered iteratively and incrementally through components, continuous improvement is a principle, plans are adjusted from phase to phase, and the project responds to the current project situation at any given time.

A DPMM project can incorporate various agile and non-agile organizational approaches of delivery teams, whether component-oriented, flow-oriented, timebox-oriented, or as a sub-project.

The degree of application of agile elements can be tailored accordingly. Four processes contain the main and supporting activities of project roles. The project's value chain explains how a project contributes value to the business.

DPMM contains templates for pragmatic project documentation.

DPMM is fully described in its Reference book (about 200 pages, PDF), which is available for download free of charge.
