Methodology & Process Improvement

This includes both new methodology development as well as reviewing and refining existing ones. Most methodologies draw upon elements of the Project Management Institute's PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) and the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model. However, while important, standards such as these are but a starting point. To this other elements must be factored in such as the nature of the organization; key characteristics of projects managed; the experience level and skill set of the organization; the level of acceptance of, and readiness for, change, and so on. Finally, to this must be added Best Practices from real world project management as conducted by others who have successfully addressed similar problems and issues.

The result is either a new methodology, or improvements to an existing one, that will both elevate project management performance as well as be more likely to be adopted by the organization. Such a methodology (and associated processes) is tailored to support your organization, the types and range of projects you are managing and your people's skill set.
Key attributes often include the need for a methodology to be scaleable and flexible enough to be used for a variety of different projects. It should also be very straightforward to use, thereby increasing the likelihood that people will adopt it willingly. And finally, it must support the organization's business goals and operate effectively within the organization’s culture.
