Project Academy
A shared and practical way to work with projects
Project Academy is a practical project management training program designed to bring clarity, structure and shared understanding to project work without heavy frameworks or unnecessary complexity. It provides a foundation for anyone working in or around projects.
In many organizations, projects are part of everyday work yet there is no shared way of running them. This leads to unclear roles, fragmented collaboration and projects that consume energy without creating real value. Project Academy gives teams and organizations a common language and practical tools for managing projects effectively.
The program is DNV-certified (DNV-ST-0008) and quality-assured by PMI® (Project Management Institute).
When is Project Academy especially useful
Project Academy is particularly useful when:
- Projects are run differently across teams
- Project work feels heavy or unclear
- Projects do not sufficiently support service or business development
- You want a shared foundation before moving to more formal frameworks like PRINCE2
It works equally well for organizations just beginning to structure their project work and for those looking to align existing practices.
How it works in practice
The training covers fundamentals of project management, project planning and execution, project models and an introduction to agile project management.
Training can be delivered as online self-paced eLearning or as tailored in-house programs. Content and format are adapted to your audience and context.
After training, participants understand what project work means in practice, recognize typical phases and roles in projects, and can work more effectively in project environments. They share a common language and mindset that makes collaboration across teams easier.
Who this is for and how it applies
Project Academy suits specialists and experts, project team members, team leads and managers, and organizations that want a shared way of working with projects. No prior project management knowledge is required.
Projects are universal, but the way they are experienced varies:
- Technology and IT services – Finding the balance between project work and ongoing service delivery
- Industrial and manufacturing – Turning plans for new production lines, service launches or process improvements into results more effectively
- Professional services and consulting – Strengthening the project foundation that experienced professionals sometimes take for granted
- Education and public sector – Aligning expectations and improving collaboration across development initiatives with many stakeholders
How this connects to other services
Project Academy often serves as a practical first step before more formal project management frameworks. For those ready to go deeper, it connects naturally to PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Agile training.
It also complements ITIL training for organizations that manage both projects and services. A competence and training needs assessment can help determine whether Project Academy is the right starting point or whether a different path would be more effective.
