Many Enterprise Project Management implementations live or die based on their ability to implement Critical Path Method techniques (CPM) across the organization. Other’s have a critical need to optimize scarce, expensive and shared resources. Organizations make a significant investment in an implementation, but may fail against their original objectives because of the difficulty of implementing CPM.

Implementing Enterprise Project Management is about Adopting a consistent set of core project management practices across an organization. Typical “off the shelf” generic training for project management techniques or project management software tools is very ineffective in promoting Adoption. It can enhance an individual’s resume but has little impact on an organization’s ability to implement Enterprise Project Management and manage their projects more effectively. 

Project Portfolio Management, or PPM, is a project management discipline aimed at managing project investments in a way that maximizes results, or return, to the organization. 

Virtually none of the Earned Value Management consulting companies address the real challenge in implementing Earned Value Management system, which is  Adoption. 

Pinnacle offers staff augmentation services delivered by our PMTalent Solutions business line.
