New Project Lifecycle Available
Front runners in the Project Management space, MPMM.com announced the release of a brand new Project Lifecycle for managing projects.
La Habra, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Their Project Management Life Cycle walks clients through the phases, activities and tasks involved in managing a project, step-by-step. "It's the latest in project management tools" says Carmen Fell, Vice President of Product Delivery. "Project Managers need a framework within which they deliver projects, and the new Project Life Cycle we've released does exactly that. Managers and teams can complete every step needed to initiate, plan, execute and close a project, more quickly and easily than before. Every step in the lifecycle is described in depth, explaining what needs to be done, by whom and in which order. It's great" says Fell.
In addition to providing a framework for the delivery of projects, MPMM now also includes the templates and practical examples needed to deliver their projects on time. For every step in the life cycle, a project management template is provided to explain to managers, how to complete a particular task. The template provides the outline of the sections that need to be completed and a procedural set of instructions are provided to help them do it. This saves managers and teams time when creating deliverables.
The project life cycle announced by MPMM.com today also includes a suite of practical examples for each phase, activity and task. Each example provides a realistic deliverable for a sample project, to show managers what level of depth is required to build a successful deliverables from start to finish.
"So if you take the Project Planning phase for instance, the Project Life Cycle explains which steps you need to complete to perform this phase efficiently. In this case, the project manager would need to complete a project plan, then create a resource and financial plan and round it off with risk and procurement plans to adequately plan their project. Our Project Life Cycle describes how to complete each of these tasks in depth, so the manager does not have to worry about recalling knowledge or tools from past projects. It then goes one step further by giving them the planning templates and practical examples that enable them to create those project deliverables faster and using less effort, than before. Our customers usually save 30% of the time required to create project deliverables by using templates and practical examples" says Fell. "And by saving this time, they gain a little contingency which reduces their overall project risk".
The Project Life Cycle provided by MPMM contains 4 phases, being Project Initiation, Planning, execution and Closure. Within these 4 phases, there are 20 critical project management activities that are performed to successfully deliver projects.
Based on the worldwide standards for project management, this Project Life Cycle was built by a team of experienced Project Managers, including well known project management author and entrepreneur Jason Westland.
"We wanted to create a generic Project Life Cycle that suited all project types" says Westland. "Many life cycles out there are specific to a particular industry, project type or size, so finding something that you can use consistently throughout your career is difficult. You have to constantly change the life cycle you use to suit your immediate project need. So we spent 2 years researching all of the various life cycles out there, and as a team, built a suite of generic processes that are suitable to all project types. We then used the life cycle on our internal projects and run a Beta program to get our customers involved. To date, more than 11,000 customers have downloaded our life cycle for their projects, so we're more than ready to announce it today to the wider public".
The Project Life Cycle is contained within the MPMM.com Project Management Methodology.
