Project management practices influence more than individual projects—they affect the overall health of a company’s project portfolio and the ability to advance its overall strategy.

​

Whitlock Government Services, LLC can help develop and improve your project management (PM) and project portfolio management (PPM) framework, allowing you to prioritize and execute strategic projects that will deliver tangible, sustainable benefits. Many programs focus on delivering a capability to change, and are normally designed to deliver the organization's strategy or business transformation. Program management also emphasizes the coordinating and prioritizing of resources across projects, managing links between the projects and the overall costs and risks of the program.

​

Our approach to PPM is to understand your culture and right-size practices to fit your organizational needs, aligning our recommended structure, tools, and processes with your goals and resources. Program management may provide a layer above the management of projects and focuses on selecting the best group of projects, defining them in terms of their objectives and providing an environment where projects can be run successfully. Program managers should not micromanage, but should leave project management to the project managers. However, program management might need to deal with inter-dependencies, conflicts and resource or knowledge sharing among the projects it manages.

​

Whitlock Government Services can lead your organization in establishing or enhancing an effective Project Management Office (PMO) and build your project, program, and portfolio management capabilities. WGS can also help transform your organization using key elements from best known practices, addressing your company’s strategic direction, strategic alignment, and strategic execution.
