PMI's global congress, a premium education and networking event for the global project management community in Asia Pacific, takes place 27 February-1 March in Bangkok, Thailand.

The OPM3 standard offers organizations the ability to measure the maturity of project management processes being applied to their multiple projects. OPM3 ProductSuite, released in 2006, further enhances OPM3 through its three main elements: certification, tools, and services.

OPM3 ProductSuite offers a training element for professional consultants, a tool element that encompasses more robust assessment methodology with specified guidance for organizational improvement, and services that include assessment data as well as status updates and registration of approved OPM3 ProductSuite Service Providers.

Det Norske Veritas (DNV), the exclusive administrator of global training, certification and registration of PMI Certified OPM3 Assessors and Consultants, will exhibit OPM3 ProductSuite at the congress in Bangkok, Thailand. The exhibit will provide information, answer questions and discuss the strategic alliance with PMI to provide professional consultants with the tools to conduct OPM3 assessment or improvement services to business and governmental agencies worldwide.

Training is offered in the the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden and Australia with more countries to be added through the DNV Certification offices. Regional office contacts include: DNV China (Contact: sanghem.hsu@dnv.com) and DNV Australia (Contact: yngve.amundsen@dnv.com).
