P2M - Japan's Project and Programme Management
P2M is Japan’s Project and Programme management framework.
It’s growing in popularity in Japan, and is of increasing interest to the international PM community for what it can teach us.
I find it interesting that this framework has a much more specific focus on stakeholder and value management that the PMI framework. I have listed their "Individual Management Areas" below to give you a taste of this alternative approach.
If you are interested in learning more here are a few key links.
