Project Management Principles

To achieve consistently effective results, PMPROS employs experienced project and program management specialists who adhere to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework and Department of Defense (DoD) regulations. Our methodologies, refined over three decades of diverse industry experience, are scalable, structured, and flexible. These methodologies can be applied to new, existing, or problematic projects and programs. By aligning with PMBOK principles and DoD regulations, our approach ensures that the defining, planning, and controlling of projects and programs are consistent and successful processes.

Project Cost Control

PMPROS's Project Cost Control services are designed to provide comprehensive financial oversight and proactive management to keep projects on track. Here's a breakdown of the key aspects:

  • Building a Baseline Budget: Establishing a solid financial foundation for the project, ensuring all anticipated costs are accounted for, in strict compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) regulations and financial management standards.
  • Conducting Earned Value Analysis (EVA): This involves rigorously calculating the Cost Variance (CV) and the Cost Performance Index (CPI) to measure project performance against the baseline budget, adhering to DoD guidelines for accuracy and accountability.
  • Updating the Cost Management Plan: Ensuring the financial plan remains relevant and aligned with project goals through continuous updates, following DoD protocols to maintain alignment with regulatory requirements and project objectives.
  • Implementing Preventative and Corrective Actions: Addressing potential issues before they escalate and making necessary adjustments to stay on track, in accordance with DoD standards for risk management and corrective action procedures.

By focusing on process, discipline, and leadership, PMPROS effectively breaks down functional silos, engages stakeholders, and ensures projects are completed within budget, scope, and schedule. This comprehensive approach to cost control helps organizations achieve consistent success in their project endeavors.

 

Project Schedule Control

As part of our Project Schedule Control services we will complete the following for your project:

  • Baseline the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS): Establish a comprehensive and realistic baseline for the Integrated Master Schedule, ensuring all project activities, milestones, and deliverables are included and aligned with project goals and DoD requirements.
  • Conduct Earned Value Analysis (EVA): Calculate the Schedule Variance (SV) and the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) to measure project performance against the baseline schedule, adhering to DoD guidelines for accurate schedule management.
  • Determine the Project Schedule Baseline and Compare Against the Current Plan: Assess the project’s current schedule performance by comparing it to the established baseline, identifying any deviations and their potential impacts.
  • Develop Appropriate Preventative and Recovery Corrective Actions: Identify potential schedule risks and issues, and develop strategies to prevent delays or recover from schedule variances, ensuring adherence to DoD standards for risk and corrective action management.

PMPROS project management services offer an objective, professional approach to managing the many constraints associated with the project and program implementation. PMPROS uses well established methodologies and leading concepts and practices, which may be applied to various types of projects.
