Tools & Techniques Web Guide Released: A Practical Resource for PM² Practitioners

The newly released PM² Tools & Techniques web guide presents a curated collection of widely recognised tools and techniques relevant across project, programme, portfolio, and agile management contexts. 

Each tool or technique is accompanied by a short description and practical guidance explaining its purpose, typical use cases, and value in improving management practices. The guide covers key areas such as planning, estimation, risk analysis, communication, and performance monitoring, offering readers a structured and adaptable way to strengthen their management approach. 

Serving as a useful complement to the main PM² Methodology publications which focus on process-oriented aspects such as phases, roles, and governance, while this web guide fills an important gap by providing practical, hands-on guidance that supports real-world application. 

The guide is intended to be used alongside professional experience and training, helping practitioners increase productivity and deliver higher-quality results. While the current collection represents a solid starting point, it is not exhaustive. Users are encouraged to explore additional open-source resources for further techniques and complementary practices. 

The development of the Tools & Techniques publication has been made possible through the efforts of project practitioners and PM² experts across EU institutions. Their insights and dedication have been vital to creating this resource.
