OPM3: Assessment and Certification

John Schlichter

September 14, 2009





Getting Certified
After leading the development of the OPM3 standard on PMI’s behalf, I was hired by PMI and DNV to help develop OPM3 ProductSuite, which is the preferred method for implementing OPM3. ProductSuite is a robust toolset for unlocking the power of OPM3 to assess and improve your organization. It can be used only by PMI certified consultants. Certified consultants must undergo training and pass examinations.
There are prerequisites to the training. The minimum education and PM experience requirement is a PMP or PgMP credential or a high school diploma (or equivalent) and five years of PM experience, or a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) and three years of PM experience. In addition, the applicant must have prior consulting experience either through an SEI-SCAMPI A Lead Appraiser Certification or a minimum of 500 hours (six months) of assessing, auditing or consulting experience over the past three years, with a minimum of 50 hours in each discipline.
