The Engineering Advancement Association (ENAA) of Japan has been contributing to development of Japanese project management by continuing research and study for over 20 years. The ENAA established a Committee for Introduction, Development, and Research on Project Management (Chairperson: Shigenobu Ohara, Adjunctive professor of University of Technology Sydney) in 1999, in response to a commission from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

In order to respond to social change and increasingly complicated and sophisticated demands, there is need for capability to effectively solve complex problems and manage projects and programs to promote value creation activities. To meet such needs, A Guidebook for Project and Progam Management for Enterprise Innovation (P2M) was been developed, over a period of 30 months to November 2001, as a new PM knowledge and competency system.. In addition, a new qualification system for project management, based on the P2M, is proposed in order to foster development of project management personnel capable of creating and delivering value in a complex and changing environment. Key words throughout P2M are value creation to enterprises, either commercial or public, with a consistent chain from a mission, through strategies that embody the mission, to a program(s) of projects that implement strategies. P2M is intended not only to benefit Japanese organizations but to profitably apply to any organizations globally who seek a comprehensive guide to program and project management. P2M is already widely used as a standard guide and, with its respect for other standards and innovative approach to sue of project and program management for value creation in enterprises, provides a sound foundation for further development and improvement of the project management.
