Methodology Implementation

A primary goal of a project management methodology (not to be confused with a product development lifecycle) is to provide a common standard throughout an organization. This ensures that projects of varying types, sizes, and complexity are conducted in a consistent and disciplined manner.  The Project Process Architecture® is designed to meet that primary goal. Our implementation service includes:

1. Assessing current processes

2. Customizing specific PPA® processes tools to best reflect the environment

3. Implementing change management to overcome organizational resistance

4. Delivering a PPA® based training program to sponsors, managers, and team members

5. Developing and delivering a PPA® pilot program based on selected key projects

6. Refining PPA® processes and tools based on feedback from the pilot
