Organizational Project Management

Welcome to the Organizational Project Management! This department focuses on what it takes to make project management work in an organizational context. This isn’t about how to manage a single project or how to survive in an organization as an individual project manager; instead, it’s about how to get an entire organization to approach managing its projects in a consistent, aligned and ultimately effective way. While examples may be elusive, the reality is that they’re out there--and we can learn from them. Even better, we can take those experiences back to our own organizations.

The ideal result is an organization that manages its projects as an organization. It isn't about who gets assigned to a project defining the kind of project you will get; it's about the organization as a whole. Come to this organization, and this is how it will deliver, no matter who gets assigned.

Find the strategies that work, and the tools that effectively support them. Learn from case studies of others and share your own insights.

Get involved. Contribute. Above all, find a way to help make a positive difference in the projects you support and the organizations you work with.
