Praxis Framework™ Foundation Overview

This three-day training course aims to provide delegates with a foundational understanding of the Praxis Framework™. Praxis is a methodology that has been developed in response to the recent expansion of P3 Management. It is a unique framework that amalgamates all three elements of Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management. During this Praxis Framework™ Foundation training course, delegates will be introduced to all four pivotal features that comprise the Praxis framework. These are Knowledge, Method, Competence, and Capability Maturity. Upon completion of this course, delegates will have gained an awareness of the Praxis Framework™ and these four components.

This Praxis Framework™ Foundation training course begins by covering the concept of ‘Knowledge’. This module explores the complexity of projects, programmes, and portfolios, and demonstrates how this attribute makes it difficult to differentiate between them. Furthermore, contextual and managerial notions are explained and delegates will become familiar with the influence of certain conditions upon projects, programmes, and portfolios within organisations. To provide a complete overview of this Praxis component, this course will also cover the practice of management, including interpersonal techniques.

Following ‘Knowledge’ is the ‘Method’ section of the course, which will cover essential aspects of Praxis Process Models and documentation. All project and programme, delivery, and portfolio processes will be studied, as they utilise functional tools and mechanisms, and provide an approach centred around the life cycle. Our instructors will move on to demonstrate the importance of governance, scope, and delivery documentation, and management plans. These are crucial to consider to ensure the effective governance of a project, programme, or portfolio.

The third part of Praxis is ‘Competence’. There are three competencies described in Praxis, which will be described and explained. The first competency is linked to delivery within the knowledge component, the second corresponds with the individual processes as shown in the method section, and the third competency addresses the interpersonal skills as outlined in the knowledge element. These competencies should be changed in order to be adopted by an organisation, with consideration of their specific business environment.

The fourth element taught during this Praxis Framework™ Foundation and Praxis Framework™ Practitioner course is ‘Capability Maturity’. This is a model that guides organisations through the process of delivering projects, programmes, and portfolios effectively. Capability Maturity is flexible and adaptable and should be considered both internally and externally. It can be altered in order to correspond to different contexts, but it can also remain consistent so as to allow for comparison between contrasting organisations. After studying this module, delegates will have completed the Praxis Framework™ Foundation course and will have gained a fundamental understanding of the Praxis Framework™.

If delegates are interested in completing both Foundation and Practitioner levels simultaneously, then this can be achieved through The Knowledge Academy with our Praxis Framework™​ Foundation and Practitioner course.

Prerequisites

In order to acquire this Praxis Practitioner certification, delegates must have completed the Praxis Foundation training course and examination.

Praxis Practitioner Overview

This engaging two-day Praxis Practitioner training course will build on knowledge acquired during the Praxis Foundation course. The Practitioner section focuses more extensively on the practical implementation of Praxis within an organisation, thus it is perfect for delegates who are looking to apply their understanding in a hands-on manner.

Praxis Practitioner will begin with a revision of what was covered in the Praxis Framework™ Foundation course, to refresh delegate’s knowledge of the four core elements, Knowledge, Method, Competence, and Capability Maturity. This review will provide delegates with a strong starting point with which to develop their knowledge. Following this, the tailoring of Praxis to organisations will be a sufficient area of focus, as delegates will gain an understanding of how to adapt the Praxis framework to their own business.

As well as this, Praxis Practitioner will explore the roles and responsibilities of the Project Manager, Programme Manager, and Portfolio Manager. When merging all three, the P3 Manager is born, and hence will be studied during this section.

Praxis links effectively to other notable Project and Programme Management frameworks, namely PRINCE2® and MSP®. This is due to the fact that all three methodologies are based on a life cycle, which passes through multiple phases, hence this will also be a subject of focus during Praxis Practitioner. Delegates will learn how they can gain and benefit from using Praxis in conjunction with alternative Project Management structures.

Finally, the relationship between the four core Praxis elements, (Knowledge, Method, Competence, and Capability Maturity) will be examined, whereby delegates will acquire an understanding of how the concepts correlate and correspond to each other.

If delegates are interested in completing both Foundation and Practitioner levels simultaneously, then this can be achieved through The Knowledge Academy with our Praxis Framework™ Foundation and Practitioner course.

Mapping of the Praxis syllabus topics demonstrates a broader P3 knowledge and understanding is required than that of PRINCE2®, MSP® and IPMA Level D or equivalent (e.g. APM PMQ).

For candidates who currently hold a Foundation certification in PRINCE2 or MSP, or IPMA Level D or equivalent, and wish to gain Praxis Practitioner certification, additional knowledge and understanding is required in a broad range of subjects. The coverage of syllabus topics varies greatly between these P3 products. In some cases:

• All of these products cover a topic in a similar way, e.g. risk management and organization management, but with slight differences in terminology and complexity.
• Syllabus topics are only covered by one or two of the products, e.g. PRINCE2 and MSP cover the P3 process but, for example, APM PMQ does not, APM PMQ covers interpersonal skills but PRINCE2 and MSP do not.
• Syllabus topics are not covered by any of the products, e.g. finance management and change management.

For candidates who currently hold a Foundation, Practitioner or Professional certification in PRINCE2, a Foundation, Practitioner or Advanced Practitioner in MSP, or IPMA Level D or equivalent, and wish to gain Praxis Framework Practitioner certification, additional knowledge and understanding is required. The Praxis Framework Bridging course is aimed at this audience. The Praxis Framework Bridging course is designed to fill the gap(s) in candidates understanding, which will vary depending on their certification, and explain the key difference and similarities, where they exist, between the Praxis framework and these P3 products.

Candidates that currently hold a Practitioner level certification will obviously have an advantage over those that currently hold a Foundation level certification. The duration of the Praxis Bridging course is 3 days, including time for the Practitioner exam to be sat.
