Certified PMO Experts
The Project/Program Office is the fastest growing corporate organizational concept today. These offices provide project management support to corporations worldwide, assisting new project managers, implementing world-class project management, and providing information to all levels of management. ParMan Consulting is staffed with certified experts in the Project Office concept. Our PMO experts have successfully developed and implemented Program and Project Office in major corporations globally.
For most of the projects, Project Management becomes a technical discipline in its own right. To run projects as efficiently as possible, our Project Managers are certified in methodologies such as PRINCE2 (an increasingly widespread UK government standard which stands for "PRojects IN Controlled Environments") or an equivalent, and they apply an appropriate subset of these methodologies.
PRINCE2 completely clarifies people's roles in projects, ensures that lines of communication are clear, makes sure that project risk is actively managed, sets up appropriate controls, establishes baseline costs, schedule and scope, and so on. In this, it embodies and codifies much of project management best practice.
In terms of project management tools, we have profiles fully trained with MS Project and Primavera Project Planner.
