Recently, the availability and ease-of-use of project management (PM) tools have increased enormously. Simultaneously, PMP ® Certification by the Project Management Institute (PMI ®) has become a global standard. These new tools and techniques help you to more easily balance and integrate all eight components of a successful project as outlined by the PMI. Until recently, most of us were lucky if we addressed one or two of these thoroughly, or we abdicated control to others. Clients are hungry for this new professional service.

Having the tools doesn’t make you an instant project manager anymore than word processing software makes you an instant best-selling author. However, working without the new tools is like playing tennis without a racquet.

We give an overview of how to more easily manage:

We have provided project management services on projects totaling more than $10 billion, worldwide. We have customized Microsoft Project for most industries and many companies and have learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t. You can save a great deal of time by avoiding the pitfalls.

We will discuss the shortcuts, uses and abuses of the latest PM tools and techniques, how to increase proposal success and multipliers while avoiding scope creep and litigation.

Now you can easily fast-track your projects, increase profits, protection and rewards, avoid resource peaks and valleys, prioritize and decrease your work load and risk by effectively using these new tools and techniques.

1. “Train…
2. Feature project management skills per se in all management performance evaluations…
3. Get junior people working on project teams, … as soon as possible.
4. Recruit with any eye toward project management skills.”
