Our major services in the project management area include:
Project Management Office (PMO)
Don’t have a PMO yet? We can help you establish one. Do you feel your PMO could be doing more? We can take your PMO to the next level by refining processes and coaching/mentoring PM staff. Want to adopt Agile methodologies in your PMO or create an Agile PMO? We offer Agile coaching and help you adopt Agile methodologies in a very Agile way.

Project Management Planning
Are you developing a project plan for a large, complex or high-risk project where millions are at stake? We create realistic project plans that take into account the key strategic drivers, all project variables such as scope, time, cost, quality, risks and others. And we offer stakeholder analysis—a strategic effort aimed at winning the critical support needed to pave the way to a successful outcome. Our highly experienced consultants deliver the skills and experience needed to complete the planning for your large or complex project. The project plan can then be transitioned to your project team for execution.
Project Risk Management
Risk management is not widely understood or implemented. According to our Project Management Support Survey, a risk register is only used 29% on more than 75% of projects and 18% on 50-75% of projects. Yet identifying risks (and corresponding strategies to manage the risk) is perhaps the most powerful tool a project manager can wield to improve the odds of project success. Risk management also elevates the degree of predictability (including the project schedule, budget and the quality of the finished work), and it reduces the level of stress. We can help you implement this simple yet effective process in your organization. If you have already implemented project risk management, we can help you refine it and take it to the next level.
Earned Value Management (EVM)
Are you concerned your project could be slipping? Earned Value Management (EVM) offers an invaluable opportunity for your project team to do a mid-term course correction and to bring your project on track before it gets out of hand. We can help you make the most of this excellent performance tracking tool. Our EVM methodology is based on Estimate to Complete (ETC) rather than percent complete—a superior model. Let us demonstrate the value that EVM can deliver to your project team.
