What is project management consulting?
The term 'project management consulting' can describe a range of services depending on what firm you engage with and what your organization's needs are. Consulting can start with applying project management expertise to one real project, exposing your project team to the most effective practices so they can take the reins on future projects. In this mode of consulting, practices such as project chartering, risk management, or Earned Value Management (EVM) might be utilized to get your project on track and keep it there. Consulting can also include helping your organization establish a customized project management framework or project management office (PMO) or providing an outsourced version of all of this work so you don't have to worry about your projects.
Why should I hire project management consultants?
Your organization may benefit from consulting services if:
• Your project management teams cannot adapt to increasing project load.
• Projects slip in terms of schedule, budget, or quality.
• At least one critical project is out of control and you are struggling to put it back on track.
Any of these issues can be addressed by a project management consulting service, and the best services can also make recommendations or help implement changes to keep the issues from arising again.
