For this project we have adopted very
simple strategy. First of all it is transfer of knowledge from International
organization and Institutes to establish in Armenia professional background on
project management. Mainly we are going to establish contact with IT and
Tourism supporting International Organizations. We are going to use Body of
Knowledge of Project Management Institute (US), Official standards of APM Group(UK)
which is PRINCE2 project management methodology and Body of Knowledge from
International Project Management Association(Belgium). Based on this universal
model of background developing, we will successes in establishing strong
background also by using knowledge and experience of Armenian project managers.
All project managers who has been agreed to invest his/her experience and
knowledge will work as volunteers to establish this very important knowledge
background. All other start-up activities we are planning to do on this stage based
on funding of supporting organizations. After start-up stage we will be able to
accept membership fees and keep organization self sustainable.

So resuming organizational strategy
for this project we could present it as following points:

  • Knowledge transfer:
    We are based on international experience and body of knowledge of most
    developed project management institutes and associations.
  • Knowledge base: All
    materials and documents, including main Body of Knowledge will be
    developed by founders of organization presented in this document and with
