Understanding your project management capabilities is the first step towards improving them. At ScottMadden we use a proven methodology to assess project management capabilities, built upon the Project Management Institute standards. In addition, our own deep subject matter expertise and experience leading large project implementations allows us to create actionable recommendations that tailor to our client’s needs, culture, risk tolerance, and time horizons.

Our project management assessment methodology consists of four key steps:

1. We engage our clients upfront to understand strategic goals and drivers and determine the appropriate engagement approach.

2. We assess current program management capabilities against >250 standards from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) model.

3. Based on the results of the assessment, we work with your team to develop recommendations for improvement.

4. We then prioritize recommendations, based upon level of impact and required effort, and develop an implementation plan to address priority recommendations.
