ICZ has been cooperating with IPMA Czech Republic for a long time and has been a member of it for decades. IPMA methodologies are also an integral part of ICZ project management guidelines. At the end of June, ICZ project managers were part of the first IPMA 4.1 certification exam, which now also includes a simulation workshop. In addition to the workshop, the exam consists of a three-hour written exam and a personal interview. All ICZ candidates passed successfully.
