Portfolio, Programme & Project Management

Industry-recognised, best practice guidelines form the basis of CMC's work. We work with your team to tailor and adapt recognised methods to suit your organisation, to ensure that you get best value from guidelines such as Management of Portfolios®, Managing Successful Programmes®and PRINCE2®.

CMC's expertise in tailoring and adopting these methods is based upon a track record of successfully delivering customers' projects to time, cost and quality: we are not methodology theorists, but experienced project and programme managers who recognise the balance between method compliance and value added process. We recognise which features actually improve the chances of portfolio, programme and project success and will resist method compliance for the sake of it, if it is not adding value to the delivery.
