What Makes aPRO Different?

  • A pure performance standard.
  • Evaluates results rather than process.
  • An open model that can be customized.
  • Less time and fewer resources required to complete an assessment.
  • Can result in certification as an asapm Project Rated Organization.

Comparing aPRO to Maturity Models and other PM Assessments
Maturity Models and proprietary Project Management Assessments have proliferated over the last 25 years. Members of the aPRO team have been innovators and leaders in their use; they have served organizations well. The aPRO Standard moves beyond those efforts, to efficiently and effectively recognize and improve PM Performance.

Among its distinctions, aPRO offers:

  • Assessment of results, rather than inputs and processes.
  • A range of factors that affect PM Performance, other assessments may not consider, including Strategic Alignment of initiatives, and middle-management impact upon PM efforts.
  • A focus on PM Performance improvement factors throughout the model, not just at the preliminary levels.
  • Performance evaluation, not just assuring that processes are mature.
  • An accepted Standard, not just an organization's proprietary model (while some of the aPRO team members have used their own proprietary models for decades, and shared their insights with us all).
  • The only PM assessment that results in organizational Certification.

We invite you to explore the rest of this aPRO site to see how your organization can benefit from PM Performance recognition and improvement!
