THE PROJECT SUCCESS METHODSM consists of three integrated management processes by which projects are clearly defined, thoroughly planned, and proactively controlled during execution. This proven, proprietary project management methodology employs a consensus-building approach that promotes: 1) team ownership of the project, 2) the development of an actionable project plan, 3) team commitment to the plan, 4) a disciplined and tenacious approach to project control, and 5) a sense of mutual accountability and support within the team.
