User reviews
APM has organised reviews of the latest project management tools. The reviews are based on feedback from practising project professionals, both APM members and non-members. The review is intended to provide an independent overview of the product, including the main benefits as well as any potential drawbacks. The views expressed in the review are not necessarily those of APM.
NEC3
NEC3 contracts are a diverse range of definitive end-to-end project management contracts that empower users to deliver projects on time, on budget and to the highest standards.
The first contract was published in 1993 and was pioneered by Dr Martin Barnes CBE, founding member of APM, honorary fellow and past chairman.
NEC contracts combine project management, contracting and procurement in one best practice process, and have been used to successfully deliver some of the highest profile projects in the world, including the London 2012 Olympics and Crossrail.
