A Step-by-Step Guide to Setting You Up a Project Management Office
It isn't just big organizations that can benefit from using project management systems. When instituted properly, project management allows organizations of any size to deliver results on time and on budget, helps them save money, and helps them realize the benefits of the projects sooner. And now that it's become a standard business practice for so many highly successful larger organizations, firms of all sizes have begun to look into setting up their own project management office.
For organizations with no formal project management structure in place, The Project Management Office Toolkit provides managers with everything they need to:
- Fit the project office into the current organizational structure
- Determine the necessary project management software and other tools
- Find and develop outstanding project managers
- Stucture efforts for consistent results
- Handle slippages in cost, time, and other core factors
- Adapt the wealth of templates provided in the book into organization-specific initiatives, and more.
