IPMA(R) Project Management - Level B: Leadership - Governance - Complex Projects Senior Project and Programme Management based on the ICB4

By Nikola Uhlemann

The IPMA(R) Level B certification is designed for professionals who lead complex projects and programmes and who carry responsibility beyond operational delivery. At this level, project management is defined not only by methods, but by leadership, governance awareness and decision-making in complex environments.

This book is not a basic textbook and not a collection of exam questions. It is a practice-oriented reflection and preparation volume for Senior Project Managers and Programme Managers who operate in environments characterised by uncertainty, stakeholder complexity and high organisational impact.

Based on the ICB4, the book focuses on the competencies expected at Level B: leading people in temporary organisations, managing interfaces and dependencies, applying governance responsibly, and balancing delivery pressure with sustainable performance. Realistic practice scenarios, structured reflection elements and assessment-oriented guidance support a credible and confident preparation for the Level B assessment.

This book helps you to:

lead complex projects and programmes responsibly

navigate stakeholder complexity and conflicting interests

apply governance principles in multi-stakeholder environments

make sound decisions under uncertainty

reflect on leadership practice in line with Level B expectations

Level B is about leading complexity with responsibility.
This book supports that journey.
