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.

Portfolio Management: Linking Organizational Strategy to Execution
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.
