Introduced in 2006 at the IPMA Young Crew conference in Shanghai, China, the IPMA Young Project Manager Award recognizes rising talent in the project and program management industries by honoring young project managers for their accomplishments early in their careers.
The award is open to professional project managers aged 18 to 35 years at the time of entry. The criteria for evaluation are based upon the IPMA International Competence Baseline (ICB).
