What are the benefits of the IPMA Delta® Certification?
IPMA Delta® has been conceived to deliver value to customers worldwide. The rationale of IPMA Delta® is to provide a high-value feedback process and report while limiting the effort of the customer for the certification. The assessment looks at the key topics and uses appropriate methods for providing valuable information to the customer’s stakeholders who are responsible for the project, programme and portfolio management of the organisation. The main benefits of using IPMA Delta® are:
- Know the PP&PM competence status quo of your organisation based on an independent third-party assessment of experienced PM professionals
- Identify best practices of project, programme and portfolio management in your organisation
- Have a clear picture of the areas for improvement and development in order to be able to plan and conduct a continuous improvement and development process with measurable objectives
- Raise the visibility and significance of project, programme and portfolio management in your organisation
- Achieve systematically better results in projects, programmes and portfolios
- Improve your competitive market position, using the certificate to show professionalism to personnel, customers, partners and the community
- Learn from experienced IPMA Delta® assessors and raise the exchange on PP&PM in your organisation
- Achieve more certainty in an agile and VUCA world: Where is our organisation now and where you should lead it.
IPMA Delta® Certification Scheme
The certification is called IPMA Delta®, because it is not only based on IPMA OCB® but also on IPMA’s Individual Competence Baseline (IPMA ICB®) and IPMA’s Project Excellence Baseline®, shown as a triangle in the IPMA Delta Logo. The certification of an organisation is a remarkable step further compared to the certification of individuals.
What about the feedback of the customers?
IPMA Delta® Certifications were conducted since the year 2010. The IPMA Delta Certification is mature. The experience was used to establish the Version 2.1 (2021) of IPMA Delta. Our Customers confirmed that Delta acts as an enabler to improve its performance.
