What is a Project Management Methodology (PMM)?2020-06-12T20:34:48+00:00

A Project Management Methodology (PMM) is a framework of guiding principles, processes, practices and methods used in the planning, design and implementation of projects.

Does my organisation need a PMM?2020-06-12T20:35:26+00:00

Every organisation that implements, manages, sponsors or invests in projects needs a PMM. Regardless of its size, every project needs a successful outcome and will benefit from project management best practices, that is why every organisation needs an efficient PMM.

Does my start-up company need a PMM?2020-06-12T20:35:43+00:00

Studies show that only about 40% of start up companies will survive beyond 4 years because projects run over-budget, there is inefficient team collaboration, the business model is undefined and poor marketing.

A customized PMM will mitigate or remove all the above challenges.

My projects are generally small, do I need a PMM?2020-06-12T20:35:58+00:00

Yes, you need a PMM even if your projects are small. 

Generally, a small project is one that is less than US$75,000.00 and regardless of project cost, you need a successful outcome. A PMM will help you deliver your projects efficiently, on time, within budget and to the required quality.
