Key Learning Objectives:

• Ability to apply sustainable project management principles: The GPM-b certification demonstrates a project professional's capacity to apply sustainable project management principles. This involves leading responsibly by aligning practices with environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and long-term economic success, ultimately driving results while building trust, strengthening stakeholder relationships, and contributing to a better future. This also means going beyond traditional project success metrics of time and budget to create lasting value.

• Proficiency in balancing business objectives with environmental and social responsibility: A core outcome of the GPM-b is the ability to effectively balance business objectives with environmental and social responsibility. This reflects an approach that targets and addresses the root causes behind global sustainability issues, focusing on meaningful, systemic change.

• Comprehensive understanding of the GPM P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management: The GPM-b certification is based on "The GPM P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management". Learning objectives include explaining the standard's different processes, categories, subcategories, and elements, and identifying practices related to product impact lenses (such as Product Lifespan and Product Servicing) and process impact lenses (such as Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Fairness of project processes). The P5 standard specifically expands the traditional triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Prosperity by adding Product and Process impacts.

• Familiarity with the PRiSM (PRojects integrating Sustainable Methods) methodology: The GPM-b examination content outline includes tasks focused on explaining the PRiSM method fundamentals, recognising management activities within a PRiSM project life cycle phase, and determining PRiSM supporting processes. PRiSM is described as the first methodology developed specifically for Sustainable Project Management, guiding teams through a phased life cycle (Pre-Project, Discovery, Design, Delivery, and Closure) while integrating sustainability principles. It is universally adaptable and aims to integrate sustainability principles directly into existing governance structures.
