PM² Methodology (pronounced P-M-squared) is a project management methodology developed and supported by the European Commission. It is also used by numerous European institutions, as well as large and small private-sector organizations.
It draws on experience gained from implementing European Union projects and, above all, incorporates key principles and expertise from established best practices, international standards and other project management methodologies. Open to everyone in the spirit of open source, PM² promotes the vision of a unified, free, shared and straightforward project management methodology for use worldwide.
