Senior Project and Program Management is backed by certifications as a PMP (Project Management Professional) and PRINCE2®, the leading standards on best practice approach. PRINCE2® (an acronym for PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a de facto process-based method for effective project management. The two designations complement one another. Additionally, we have completed PMI’s (Project Management Institute) The Complete Agile Project Manager. This 9-course series covers the full spectrum of essential aspects to successfully put agile practices into action. Completion of Scrum Management, combined with Agile Project Management ensures best practices are not only maintained, but sharpened.
Clients have benefited by being fully prepared for each phase of a project, keeping projects on target and on track! Interaction amongst PMI’s 9 knowledge areas permeates the project life cycle. For example, substituting less skilled analysts (Human Resource Management) may address budget challenges (Cost Management), but negatively impact deliverables (Quality Management) and increase risk (Risk Management). A project manager must be skilled across all knowledge areas and have sharp business acumen in order to make the best decisions.
StrategicProjectSolutions is supported by formal training from Project Management Institute which has over 650,000 members operating in 170 countries. This means clients can be assured that the best business practices available are provided by Project Management Professionals (PMP®).
