The art and science of applying financial portfolio management principles

Through growing acceptance of the advantages of a projectized approach to most all aspects of business, the benefits of a disciplined application of program and project portfolio management (PPM) disciplines have become apparent and are being widely employed in IT, energy, manufacturing, transportation other industries.  

Small and mid-sized corporate users of Microsoft Project Server (MSP) are developing increasingly innovative ways to employ this collaborative technology in ways that extend far beyond its core project management-oriented focus.  

Pinnacle has been guiding and assisting our clients in implementing and improving Enterprise Project Management Offices (ePMOs) for over 25 years. 

Government agencies are increasingly requiring Contractors to implement EVM Systems, but often the Contractors don’t have the experience to get the job done. Pinnacle’s proven approach to people, processes and tools ensures a successful and sustainable EVM Systems implementation. 

Is your Project Management Office (PMO) an effective and strategic entity that helps project managers across the organization? Traditionally, PMOs have been departmentally based and effective only within their own departments or silos of responsibility. 

We recently had a prospect that asked us to build a Roadmap for an Enterprise Project Management and an Earned Value Management system. They have a mix of private sector work and also government work requiring EVMS.  At the CFO, COO level they were convinced that knew what they needed.
