What Makes the ProjectExperts Unique?

Years of International Market PM Performance
Most of today's PM consultancies weren't even in the market 15 years ago, not to mention 29 years ago. ProjectExperts has served corporations, government agencies, and other large, medium and small PM consultancies on six continents since 1982.

Curriculum LevelsTargeted Curriculum Within Curricula
Most Project Management consultants and trainers use a "one size fits all" approach. Our Learning experiences and methodologies target multiple levels of PM size and intensity, with a series of Executive or Management Overviews, PM Practitioner skill-building sessions, plus more appropriate short-duration Learning for small project managers and individual contributors.

Why offer a 5-day (or 20-day) curriculum to all project participants, when the majority of your project participants require only a 2-3 day Learning experience to improve their project Per4mance? See our introduction to our targeted Executive, Practitioner and Individual Contributor Learning experiences. Modular PM

Modular Project Management
Our curriculum of Project Management practitioner Learning experiences includes a range of relevant and focused half-day and full-day modules that savvy customers mix to custom-configure their own curriculum. Few others offer this flexibility in applying the specific Learning Objectives you need to improve project performance. And, we developed and offered this approach first!

Skills Needs Assessment Process SNAP logo (SNAP)
For our PM Practitioner curriculum, SNAP, with its pre- and post-course evaluation, has helped discerning Enterprises to target the right level of intensity for each topic or learning objective. For Learning experience customizing and post-course performance evaluation, few project management offerings match this level of measurement—way beyond smile sheets. SNAP is only available as a service with our PM Practitioner series of Learning experiences. Want to know more? See our Adobe Acrobat sample SNAP.

Improving Individual and Team PM Per4mance Competence
CompModel iconSince 1984, PM CompModel, our Project Management Competence (or Competency) Model has helped Project Managers, Team Members, Resource Managers, Sponsors, PMO Managers, and other key stakeholders to improve Project Management Competence and Per4mance. Obviously, improving PM Per4mance goes far beyond just sending people to class; this tool helps to understand the additional interventions needed to truly improve performance.

Used by thousands seeking better Per4mance, PM CompModel has been adopted by asapm®, the American Society for the Advancement of Project Management, as the tool of choice for determining the best investment in improving project Per4mance. This is smarter than wasting money on irrelevant and generic PM training that fails to target your teams' actual developmental needs. PM CompModel licensees intelligently move beyond rote memorization of simple knowledge, to assess and develop skills, improve behavioral attributes and interpersonal skills, establish competence and achieve PM Per4mance. Are you competent as a PM?

Range of PM Methods and Tools
Co-PilotPM Per4mance is not just all about training and coaching. It also requires appropriate methods and tools. Our methods have helped many businesses, government agencies and consultancies to improve their PM Per4mance. For over 25 years, we have used our tools in our project consulting engagements to improve our customers' success.

Our KnowRisk® Risk Management tools brought innovation to the industry. Our universal, Enterprise-wide Co-Pilot: Small Project Guide® PM methodology has helped tens of thousands for over 20 years, our MinProj methodology (Minimum Method, Maximum Results) provides consistency of methods across your Enterprise.

And of course, our original Information Technology Project Management and Systems Delivery methodology, THE Guide, has also helped tens of thousands of practitioners for over 25 years. See our Products section for all these methods and tools and more.

LicensingWorkshop Licensing and Train Your Trainers
For our mainstream series of PM Practitioner Learning experiences, we offer Enterprises the opportunity to license a class, then train your trainers in its delivery. When combined with our SNAP (Skills Needs Assessment Process) tool, you can assure that your trainers have mastered the material and its delivery.

Thinking Beyond the BOKBOK
Our methods don't just copy the PMBOK® Guide; in fact, this ANSI standard in the USA is looking increasingly like our 1985 methods. Our Learning experiences and methods preceded Duncan's 1991-1996 achievement and Max Wideman's original 1987 PMBOK. Today we are fully consistent with the current PMBOK Guide, where we do not extend beyond it. Example: Special application areas, such as Information Technology, need more help than any BOK can provide—and we provide it.

More About Beyond the BOK application: Mere memorization of processes does not improve project Per4mance. Our methods and Learning extend beyond rote memorization, to apply the method to partipants current projects, where possible, to improve Project and Program Per4mance.

Popular Articles and Publications
Our articles and publications have been re-published (with our permission) on websites and in magazines world-wide. And, we don't just stop there; we managed the project to develop the USA's National Competence Baseline, participated in the projects to update the IPMA Competence Baseline, and PMI's® Competence Development Framework 2nd Edition. We co-wrote the 50 page chapter on Project Communication for Germany's advanced PM certification baseline, and wrote chapter 9, Visions for the PM Software Industry, for a recently published book by PMI, Project Management 2025. Prolific? Yes! Insightful? Always! See a selection of our articles here on this website.

Consultant to Consultants
In addition to helping Enterprises and Government agencies across six continents to improve their project and program management performance, we have also provided the secret weapon of consultancies large, medium and small, who use our methods, and integrate them with their own offerings. For many, the result: They win more bids, and make greater profit on bids won. That's why we are the ProjectExperts!
