spooked?MinProj Intro: The Business Problem

Some people are terrified of projects. Many others should be. Why?

  • They can be difficult to plan.
  • They are often added to ongoing work, with no time for them.
  • They are even harder to keep on track.
  • There are too many of them at one time.
  • They are often Just Not Fun!
  • Managing them well takes significant skill and experience.
  • Despite your best efforts, some still fail!

Can’t someone come up with a way to improve projects success, without requiring years of training and competence-building?

Well, yes, we did.

Our Solution

MinProj is the universal, Enterprise-wide Minimum Project Management and Business Improvement method you need for most of your Medium or Large projects. We based MinProj on the same best practices we have shared with tens of thousands of project practitioners from Engineering, Information Technology, and a dozen other disciplines.

We distilled our Project Management and Business Analysis methods from our other popular methods to their essence to produce a universal approach that can improve your project success. Then we packaged them in an easy-to-use web-based format for your desktop or Departmental or Enterprise intranet.

MinProj Features

To tempt you to learn more about how our solution will help you solve your project problems, we summarize these MinProj features:

  • A six-Phase Project Life Cycle supports improved processes, beginning with Start the Project and ending with Close and Evaluate Project.
  • Phase Deliverable Templates in classic and Open Source formats allow you to Plan, Record and Review progress.
  • Activity descriptions for essential activities in most Medium and Large projects describe when you can skip them, identify results and reviews, and provide detailed steps for completion.
  • We identify Needed Competences for each activity; most other methods start and end with mere knowledge.
  • Roles and responsibilities are listed for each activity and each Review.
  • PM Plan Templates guide you through High-Level Planning and Detailed Phase Planning in MinProj's Stage-Gate approach.
  • Project Scheduling and Tracking templates support either conventional PM software or typical office tools.
  • Additional PM Templates: Project Logs help you document Project Intelligence: Quality, Risks, Issues, Status, and Lessons Learned.
  • MinProj builds upon Knowledge, to develop Skills, explore ranges of Behavioral Attributes, increase and apply Competence and achieve PM Performance.
  • And, MinProj is fully compatible with the ProjectExperts' PM Learning experiences and our PM Method, THE Guide, for Information Technology, and our Co-Pilot Small Project Guide method for Small Projects.
