Quick comparison to help choose the right pathway for your role & experience.
| Feature | Praxis Framework | PMP® (PMI) | CAPM® (PMI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Integrated P3 guidance: knowledge, method, competency & capability. Practical templates & maturity models suitable for org-level uplift. | Global standard focused on PMP process groups, knowledge areas, leadership & delivery for experienced project managers. | Entry-level project management credential — knowledge-based, suited to those starting a PM career. |
| Best for | Organisations seeking a single taxonomy for projects, programmes & portfolios; practitioners wanting practical templates and capability frameworks. | Experienced practitioners who lead complex projects & want a role-based professional standard. | Junior staff or career-switchers seeking recognized PM credentials. |
| Exam style | Open-book applied exam at Practitioner; Foundation assesses knowledge. Certification pathway supports competence & CPD. | Closed-book (recent updates & scenario-based items), requires PDUs to maintain; experience pre-reqs apply. | Knowledge exam; lower experience requirement; pathway to PMP with experience accumulation. |
| Change Management | Praxis provides methods & tools that map to organisational capability and can be combined with a dedicated change management course for adoption success. | PMP emphasises leadership & stakeholder management; often paired with change approaches but less prescriptive on organisational capability models. | CAPM covers fundamentals; complementary change management training recommended. |
| Local relevance | Strong fit for Australian/Queensland organisations wanting integrated guidance & PRAXIS pathway recognition. | Globally recognized; strong employer recognition in Australia too. | Globally recognized entry credential. |
Note: Praxis is a practical, free framework resource with an accredited certification pathway; PMP & CAPM are PMI credentials with different eligibility and focus—choose based on experience level and organisational needs. See official sources for each cert.
