Eight capabilities that support projects, programs, and portfolios
Each capability below can stand on its own or work alongside the others, depending on where an organization needs the most support.
Project & Program Advisory
We help organizations establish and improve the way projects and programs are managed. This can include developing project-management processes, establishing PMO capabilities, defining governance and reporting expectations, as well as creating a consistent approach that can scale as the organization takes on more projects.
Typical areas of work
- Project and program setup and structuring
- PMO establishment and PMO capability development
- Stage-gate and governance design
- Risk and issue management approach
- Advisory support through key decision points
Project Controls
We help organizations establish or improve the controls they use to manage project performance. That includes bringing structure to cost, schedule, change, forecasting, progress measurement, and reporting so that teams have reliable information to manage the work and address issues early.
Typical areas of work
- Cost and schedule control frameworks
- Change and trend management
- Baseline management
- Controls process design and rollout
Cost & Schedule Analysis
We bring cost and schedule information together to understand how a project is actually performing. We look for variances, trends, schedule pressure, cost exposure, and other indicators that help explain what is changing, why it matters, and where management attention may be needed.
Typical areas of work
- Variance and trend analysis
- Schedule health checks
- Cost-to-complete analysis
- Scenario and what-if analysis
Forecasting
We help teams build forecasts around what they know about the work today, not simply what has already been spent. That means evaluating remaining work, expected cost, schedule conditions, changes, and known risks to develop a forecast that can be explained, challenged, and updated as the project changes.
Typical areas of work
- Cost and schedule forecasting methods
- Estimate-at-completion development
- Forecast governance and cadence
- Assumptions and basis-of-estimate documentation
Portfolio & Program Reporting
We help leadership get a consistent view of performance across multiple projects and programs. We standardize the information that matters and highlight trends, risks, and exceptions. This makes performance easier to compare across projects and helps leadership identify where attention is needed.
Typical areas of work
- Portfolio status reporting
- Program-level roll-ups
- Reporting cadence and templates
- Data consolidation from multiple sources
KPI & Dashboard Development
We start by defining what people actually need to know, then build the measures and reporting to support those decisions. That can include KPIs, leading and lagging indicators, management dashboards, trend reporting, and project or executive views that make important information easier to see and act on.
Typical areas of work
- KPI definition aligned to decisions
- Dashboard design and build
- Data source mapping
- Ongoing dashboard maintenance approach
Process Improvement
We help organizations simplify processes that have become difficult to manage through spreadsheets, email, manual handoffs, or individual knowledge. We work through how the process operates today, identify where it breaks down or creates unnecessary effort, and develop a clearer, more consistent way of getting the work done.
Typical areas of work
- Process assessment and mapping
- Workflow redesign
- Documentation and training materials
- Adoption and change support
Business Applications & Automation
We build practical applications and automated workflows around the way an organization actually works. That may mean improving data collection, approvals, notifications, reporting, and integrations, or automating other repetitive processes, often by making better use of technology the organization already owns. When new technology is needed, the solution should fit the business requirement rather than forcing the business into a particular platform.
Typical areas of work
- Requirements definition
- Application and workflow design
- Automation of manual, repetitive tasks
- Reporting and dashboard integration
- Platform examples: SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI
