Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (PDF document) The Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS) is an independent collaborative not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fostering mutual recognition for project and program management standards and qualifications. It was formed in response to the need for global portability of project management qualifications and certifications. The standards have been created by a global team of representatives from industry, academia, national training authorities and professional associations in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Russia and South Africa. The GAPPS project manager standards provide a framework for assessment and development of project management skills. They also support the Millennium Development goals proposed by the United Nations addressing an identified applied skill shortage in many nations. All the works produced by GAPPS are developed on a volunteer basis, are publicly available for use by public and private sector organisations, and can be downloaded from the GAPPS website www.globalpmstandards.org.
