If you want to ensure success of your project on time, within budget and with the product of your project to the quality required, you may consider using Professional Project Manager.

A Project Management Professional (PMP) can meet you at your offices to explain in more detail how a certified PMP can ensure project success.  If you want to continue, we'll start with a Project Charter, which is a document describing your project in enough detail that the project manager can be sure your project can be a success.

We then tailor nine areas of project management to create and execute a project plan that's just the right amount of management to meet your goal.  We use PMI's world-recognized ANSI Standard project management methodology described in their PMBOK® Guide (Project Management Body of Knowledge).  The nine project management areas are:
  • Integration - coordinating project activities
  • Scope - defining and keeping to what the project must accomplish
  • Time - completing on schedule and meeting major dealines
  • Cost - completing on budget
  • Communications - managing critical information links between people
  • Quality - ensuring the project makes what is said it would
  • Risk - identifying and managing project threats and opportunities
  • Human Resources - using project people effectively and managing any issues
  • Procurement - ensuring resources to complete your project

I wish you the best on your new endeavour.
