I find this book (just like the rest of PMI’s standards) a very important reference for those wishing to acquire the “text book” knowledge, and very important for certification purposes.
But if you are looking for practical knowledge, and details on how to implement OPM3 on your organization, or on clients, then I recomend other books like “Every Organization can implement OPM3″.
Hope this helps.

Repetitive Cut and Paste

When you have good concepts and approaches and how to destroy their value to readers who purchased this to be challenged and learn something. Could have been cut down by 70%. Do not recommend as a tool to learn.

PMI Standard for maturity assessment in projects. Presents the process and the criteria to define the maturity level of one organization in Project Management. It is not a book to learn about OPM3, but a reference to understand what criteria make up the organizational maturity.

Padrão do PMI para a avaliação do diagnóstico de maturidade em projetos. Apresenta o processo e os critérios para se definir o nível de maturidade de uma organização em Gerenciamento de Projetos. Não é um livro para aprender sobre o OPM3 mas sim uma referência para compreender quais critérios compõe a maturidade de uma organização.

A less-than useful collection of FAQs that is already posted on PMI's website!
