What Our Clients Say
“The Center for Project Management partnered with our team at OCIO to deliver a best of class project management methodology, tool kit, and training program. We tasked them with building a solution designed to enable our vast IT organization to consistently initiate, project manage, and deliver our projects.
By creating a scalable and practical methodology for us, which can be applied to any project in our expansive portfolio, we now have the needed process rigor balanced with practical tools and innovative project management techniques.
In addition to the Center’s successful delivery of the CA-PMM methodology, toolkit, and training program, their unique ability to educate top IT leadership and project sponsors has been essential to this effort. The awareness they are able to promote within the leadership ranks positions our project management practitioners for ongoing success.
Coupled with the Center’s leadership education program, they also provided the key elements of our practitioner focused CalQ Project Management Training Program, which has been critical in implementing the CA-PMM.”

“I have run a series of executive programs on “Leadership for a Networked World” at the Kennedy School since 1987. I have used faculty for many parts of the university and from outside. Gopal has been the most intensively utilized faculty member for this program because his uniquely attentive and engaging classroom work has consistently been at the top of our ratings charts, and because he is a reliable and effective colleague. Practitioners respect his obvious knowledge of real-world settings and problems.”

“Raj organized an excellent session for our agency’s top-level executives on the role of the business executives in the governance process. The best testimonial is that those who were too busy to attend heard about it from their colleagues and wanted another session to be scheduled so they could go too.”
Douglas Brown, PMO Head, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
“Raj and the Center for Project Management provide top-quality training and consulting services.

Gopal Kapur, the president and CEO, and the instructors provided by the Center always receive great reviews from state and local government technology leaders.”

“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Raj when our company was looking to implement a demand project management methodology across the enterprise. Raj and his colleagues at the Center for Project Management provided valuable insight and processes into how that can be implemented in a defined yet flexible manner. Raj possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise in enterprise processes and shows a deep interest in making sure he is doing everything he can to make his clients successful. I still keep the material I received from Raj right next to my desk as it has become an invaluable reference tool. I would not hesitate to recommend Raj and the Center for Project Management for any individual or company looking to increase their performance and bring a mature process to their teams.”
