The Oregon Project Management Advisory Board (OPMAB) is a volunteer board promoting professional project and program management as a standard discipline and best business model for state and local government, following the tenets of project and program management as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). To this end, the board collaborates with DAS to provide information and training, including administration of the state's project management certification program. DAS is currently offering training available to all state and local government employees.

The
OPMCP is the Oregon state government's premier project management development
program. It is available to all state employees and local governments. The
OPMCP is designed to develop leaders in all the project management disciplines.
This certification program includes 14 training classes (modules) over a 4-5
month period. To receive certification, students must pass a
post-test after each module and pass a final exam. Students who pass these
exams will then be certified as an Oregon Project Management Associate (OPMA) and
will receive a certificate signed by the Governor.

This
course is compatible with The Standard for Portfolio Management, 3rd edition by
the Project Management Institute. Every organization has too many projects
clamoring for insufficient resources. Often leaders respond by trying to do too
much with too little. This starves the most important projects, wastes
resources on the wrong work, and causes unbalanced risks and myopic horizons.
Portfolio management is a proven antidote to this. It helps leaders look
broadly across their organization to invest in the right projects and
coordinate their execution.
