Customized PMO and Project Management Solutions and Training

What we do…

Whether you are just looking for help making a basic project process more efficient or building an enterprise wide PMO, it is a journey in culture change for most groups and is impacted by the organization’s culture, level of project management maturity, available resources, and the nature of the projects being managed. There is no “one size fits all” solution.

You need to balance between adding “structure” and what the stakeholders actually need and can handle from a change perspective. Not everyone starts at the same maturity level. Processes and requirements change over time, regardless of the type of business you are in or the scale of what you are doing.

Project Management frameworks and PMOs need to be flexible to deal with the dynamic changes required to stay moving in the right direction. That is where Pathways Project Consulting can help be your guide. How do we do that? By helping you figure out what you or your organization really needs and what you can handle right now, not a rigid or overreaching system that does not give you the best chance at success.

What we offer (at a high level):

• Customized Project Management solutions (documentation, structure, etc.) and training to help your projects be as successful and efficient as possible.

• Tailored Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) frameworks that guide your organization from New Product/Process Development (NPD) to Product Retirement utilizing a logical Stage-Gate methodology.

• Project Management Office(PMO) creation or realignment methodologies to help assess stakeholder needs and keep the focus on being a dynamic value add resource and not just the “Project Police”.

• R&D Advanced Development workshops to pull together multifunctional teams to start high level plans on tackling the biggest risks in the fastest and most efficient way, laying the foundation for a flexible development framework that guides a team into concept verification with the least amount of waste.
