SPM²: A European Initiative for Sustainable Project Management

SPM2 Visual

We are proud to participate in the Sustainable Project Management through PM² (SPM²) project, an initiative that integrates sustainability principles into project management education. Co-funded by the European Union, this project aims to bridge the gap between traditional project management education and the sustainability requirements of today’s industries.

Empowering the Next Generation of Project Managers

The SPM² project enhances the PM² methodology by embedding sustainability principles across all project management stages. By doing so, it prepares students and professionals to tackle environmental challenges and lead sustainability-focused projects.

Key Objectives of the SPM² Project

  • Developing the SPM² Guide & Digital Hub – A comprehensive online platform with best practices, tools, and learning materials for sustainable project management.
  • Standardizing SPM² Curriculum – Integrating sustainability-focused training into higher education institutions (HEIs) and vocational education and training (VET) centers.
  • Launching Micro-Credentials & Certification – Offering industry-recognized, stackable certifications that support professional growth and mobility.
  • Establishing International Recognition – Collaborating with certification bodies to ensure SPM² becomes a widely accepted standard for sustainable project management.

Long-Term Impact of the SPM² Project

The SPM² project is set to make a significant impact on education, industry, and policy by:

  • Developing Green & Digital Skills – Training professionals to apply sustainability-focused strategies in project management.
  • Boosting Career Mobility – Offering stackable micro-credentials that are recognized across Europe, opening new job opportunities.
  • Aligning with the EU’s Sustainability Goals – Supporting the European Green Deal by equipping project managers with eco-conscious project management skills.
  • Encouraging the Adoption of Sustainable Methodologies – Empowering organizations, businesses, and policymakers to integrate sustainability into their project frameworks.

SPM-kickoff-2

The SPM² project (Sustainable Project Management through PM²) officially launched with its kick-off meeting on December 10–11, 2024, at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. This groundbreaking initiative, co-funded by the European Union, brings together a strong consortium of partners dedicated to integrating sustainability into project management education.

Bringing Sustainability into Project Management

The SPM² project aims to modernize project management training by embedding sustainability principles into the PM² methodology, aligning with the European Green Deal and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By equipping higher education institutions (HEIs) and vocational education and training (VET) centers with sustainability-focused tools and curricula, the project prepares professionals for the challenges of a greener economy.

During the two-day meeting, partners outlined key objectives and work packages, focusing on:

  • The development of the SPM² Guide & Digital Hub, a knowledge platform offering tools and best practices for sustainable project management.
  • The creation of industry-aligned micro-credentials to enhance employability in sustainability-focused project roles.
  • A strategy for widespread dissemination and adoption of SPM² outputs across Europe.

On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, the PM² EU and PM² Alliance teams took part in the roundtable discussion titled “Industry 4.0: From Lab to Practice”, in the frame of the 87th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF-HELEXPO). The aim of this event was to shed light on the numerous opportunities, promising prospects, and substantial challenges that arise from the fusion of cutting-edge research within the context of the rapidly evolving 4th Industrial Revolution.

Mr. Athanasios Fourtounas, Assistant Professor of City College, European Campus University of York & Senior Trainer of Human Asset (M.Sc., PMP, PMI-RMP, PM² Trainer) participated in the discussion as a representative of the PM² EU and the PM² Alliance, delving into the world of PM², the official project management methodology of the European Commission and the most preferred one when it comes to the management of European-funded Projects.

Mr. Fourtounas highlighted the methodology’s connection to European-funded initiatives and its pivotal role in public administration. The topics explored were diverse, encompassing research and development in the Industry 4.0 landscape, meticulous exit strategies coupled with strategic funding approaches, sustainability considerations, and an examination of the profound environmental impacts of Industry 4.0. The candid discussions revolved around the multifaceted challenges encountered by businesses navigating this dynamic realm.

Within this enriching context, Mr. Fourtounas outlined how the PM² methodology could serve as a powerful tool in addressing these challenges and, more importantly, in fostering new avenues of opportunity. After all, the adaptability of PM² empowers organisations and companies to swiftly respond to the ever-evolving marketplace and seize emerging prospects. Through the use of PM², enterprises have the chance to adeptly oversee their projects, seamlessly incorporate cutting-edge advancements into their day-to-day functions, and secure their longevity in a fiercely competitive global landscape. In essence, this fosters the emergence of fresh avenues for expansion and equips businesses to effectively address the challenges of Industry 4.0.

These stimulating conversations undoubtedly bolstered our collective understanding of the present and future prospects and challenges that the 4th Industrial Revolution brings to the fore.

As we move forward, we renew our commitment to promote the PM² methodology as an inclusive, open, and freely accessible project management framework, for both Europe and the global community.

Budget
Identify the main expenses for the project. Try to understand the budget available, the cost of similar projects, to get an idea of the budget necessary for project completion. The budget can be expressed as effort (in man days or man months) or in monetary units (€).
Stakeholders
List the stakeholders, and third parties involved in the project. Indicate their name, title and role on the project. Also List the users of the product or service as target groups or segments.
PM² Handbook
Reflect on the project’s specificities and decide how much to tailor the methodology: Do I need an outsourcing plan, a transition plan, a business implementation plan?
Risks
What events could have a negative impact on the project in the (near) future? Identify the impact. How can we avoid / reduce / redirect the major risks?
Governance and Team
Who will approve the project? Who will make decisions along the way? Who is part of the team or part of the decision chain?
Milestones Schedule
List the key dates and events that will define the timeline of the project. Start with the list of deliverables, and associate a target date to each major deliverable. Stay realistic about your ability to execute, considering other things you have to do.

PM² Project Canvas

Project Canvas: French

The PM² Project Canvas is an easy-to-use tool that can help individuals or teams visualize the key elements of a project and capture them in one single page.

It has been optimised to be used in three different ways:
1. As a starting point for the project, i.e. early in the Initiating Phase.
2. As a way to summarise the results of the Initiating and Planning Phases.
3. As an excellent project management communication asset and can be used in PowerPoint presentations or as a handout during Steering Committee Project Team meetings.

Use this as a template document. This template is customisable. Download the Canvas in .pdf or .pptx file below.

Use this fillable form as a sample or template according to the PM² Methodology's Guide. The Canvas provides step by step instructions on how to use it and incorporate it in a project. Free, downloadable and easy to edit .pptx file.
