The EUPM² Guide describes the main steps for formulating and managing EU-funded projects based on a tailored version of the PM² methodology. It maintains the same lean but comprehensive approach, making it useful for all EU-funded project practitioners.
While PM² is suitable for any project, it is best suited for managing EU-funded projects. These latter account for almost 80% of the EU budget, and PM² can significantly contribute to increasing project management competency and success in this area by enabling better monitoring and control of EU-funded projects and grants.
To exploit such potential benefit, it is indispensable to align the PM² methodology to the specific context rules and methodologies used in the EU-funded projects. This guide allows to fill this gap by providing a practical methodology guide for EU Project Managers willing to apply a project management methodology to improve the management of the EU-funded projects and the achievement of project goals.
Different studies report that organisations using any project management methodology better meet budget, stay on schedule, and meet scope, quality standards, and expected benefits. Consequently, the average project failure rate is lower compared to low-performing organisations.
This guide also includes the description and functioning of the different typologies of the EU-funding programmes.
