Abstract
Systems and methods for providing project management tools and instructions are disclosed. The systems and methods generally include: (a) performing an initial assessment to determine a pre-existing project management status for a plurality of project management parameters; (b) establishing a substantially equivalent quality level for the project management parameters based on the initial assessment; (c) creating an implementation plan including instructions for implementing a plurality of the project management parameters at the substantially equivalent quality level; and (d) providing training materials based on the implementation plan.
Claims19
A project management method, comprising:
- (a) performing an initial assessment to determine a pre-existing project management status for project management parameters, wherein the project management parameters include:
- communications management, financial management, integration management, issue and risk management, metrics and reporting management, resource management, scope and change control management, stakeholder management, tool support management, and work planning management;
- (b) establishing a substantially equivalent quality level for the project management parameters based on the initial assessment;
- (c) creating an implementation plan including instructions for implementing a plurality of the project management parameters at the substantially equivalent quality level;
- and
- (d) providing training materials based on the implementation plan of step (c).

A project management method, comprising:
- (a) performing an initial assessment to determine a pre-existing project management status for a plurality of project management parameters, wherein the project management parameters are selected from the group consisting of:
- communications management, financial management, integration management, issue and risk management, metrics and reporting management, resource management, scope and change control management, stakeholder management, tool support management, and work planning management;
- (b) performing a risk analysis of the pre-existing project management status;
- (c) establishing a substantially equivalent quality level for the plurality of project management parameters based on the initial assessment of step (a);
- (d) creating an implementation plan including instructions for implementing the plurality of project management parameters at the substantially equivalent quality level;
- (e) providing training materials based on the implementation plan of step (d);
- and
- (f) performing implementation support to ensure continued compliance with the implementation plan of step (d) by analyzing each of the plurality of project management parameters to determine whether the implementation of each of said plurality of project management parameters meets the substantially equivalent quality level.

A project management computing system, comprising:
- an input interface for collecting data on a pre-existing project management status for a plurality of project management parameters, wherein the project management parameters include:
- communications management, financial management, integration management, issue and risk management, metrics and reporting management, resource management, scope and change control management, stakeholder management, tool support management, and work planning management;
- a storage database for maintaining
- a substantially equivalent quality level for the project management parameters based on an initial assessment of the pre-existing project management status,
- an implementation plan including instructions for implementing a plurality of the project management parameters at the substantially equivalent quality level, and
- training materials based on the implementation plan;
- and
- a display unit for displaying the training materials.
