PM² is the project management methodology developed by the European Commission. It is open, free to use, and built on proven best practices — designed for the realities of EU-funded and public-sector projects. Finland now has its first PM² Alliance Regional Coordinator, and DiscoverIT is your local training and consulting partner.
Who benefits from PM²?
Public sector
Municipalities and government agencies get a structured, proven governance model for complex multi-stakeholder projects — at zero licence cost.
Universities
Research programmes and cross-institutional collaborations benefit from lightweight yet structured governance without heavy overhead.
NGOs
Organisations managing ESF+, Erasmus+, or LIFE programmes get professional project governance that is genuinely accessible even for small teams.
Private sector
Consulting firms and companies delivering for public clients or working in EU-funded consortia gain credibility and a competitive edge.
Project professionals
A clear certification pathway, recognised across EU institutions and member states.
Especially well suited to EU-funded projects
Finland receives significant EU funding through Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF+), Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, LIFE, CEF, and Interreg. Every year, hundreds of Finnish organisations — municipalities, universities, NGOs and companies — manage EU-funded projects worth hundreds of millions of euros.
PM² was built for exactly this environment. It supports directly EU institutions with their project phases, milestones, deliverables, roles, and risk management practices — making reporting and communication with funding authorities significantly easier.
Using PM² is not just good practice. It signals professional maturity to funding authorities, auditors, and European project partners.

Aligned with EC reporting and governance expectations
Scalable from small NGO projects to large consortia
