aPRO is asapm's unique organizational performance assessment standard. The asapm Performance Rated Organization process either results in certification as a performing organization, or a list of areas to work on to improve pm performance. Contact Tim Jaques, Director of Standards.

NCB shows the path from Knowledge, through Skills, Attitudes, demonstrated interpersonal behaviors, Competence, and the resulting PM Performance.
