Organizational project management
Organizational Project Management (OPM) is a way to execute an organization's strategy by coordinating projects, programs, and the portfolio that funds and governs them. It brings together three practices: project management (planning and delivering individual projects), program management (managing related projects to achieve a larger goal), and portfolio management (selecting and overseeing the mix of projects and programs).
The idea is that stronger capabilities in these three areas help the organization implement its strategy more effectively. OPM is a formal system, and the term is capitalized as its official name. It was defined by PMI in 2003 as part of the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model, and updated in 2008 (when it also became an ANSI standard) and again in 2013.
