PPA Methodology
The Project Process Architecture™ (PPA™) is a flexible, scalable, enterprise wide project management process. The objective of the PPA™ is to enable project managers to move through the project at an accelerated pace, without sacrificing the key steps necessary to produce high quality results. Introduced to the market in 1985, the PPA has evolved to its present state through extensive use by clients in industries including information technology, banking, manufacturing, engineering, finance, health care, apparel, communications, and insurance.
