Get Started With Project Management Excellence

• Projects are run ad hoc with little to no standards.
• Lack of proper scoping at the beginning of the project leads to constant rescoping, rescheduling, and budget overruns.
• Project leads track progress in their own way, which makes it difficult for leadership to understand project process and identify what projects require assistance.
• Absent documentation means project leads are left to reinvent the wheel every time a new project is assigned.
• Unable to pinpoint the ultimate decision maker, the project lead works unnecessarily to meet everchanging expectations.
