Trial Downloads Project Management Process

Trial Downloads for your MPMM Project Management Process

Q: Hi. I have tried to download the free trial edition of MPMM project management process, but my download was blocked. What can I do to get around this?

A: Thank you for your question. If there was an error displayed, then please email it to us. Most download errors result from either having a slow internet connection (in which the connection times out), having your firewall settings set too high (which prevents you from downloading large files over the internet) or from a problem with our server hosting. The easiest way around the problem is to try and download the trial edition of the MPMM project management process from another PC, or reduce your internet security settings (using the “Tools, Internet Options, Security” feature) temporarily to allow the file to come through. If that doesn’t work, then please email us and we will investigate it with our hosting company. Our website experiences thousands of downloads per week, so the other option is to try again in an hours time. If you are in the USA and have a high speed internet connection, then you should typically be able to download the trial edition within just 3-5 minutes.

Q: I know you get bombarded with Questions about MPMM, but hopefully I’m first on the cards. I have already purchased the Project Management Kit from www.method123.com.  So I'm not sure if I need the "pro" version or just the "educational" version. Do you have an opinion? I'm guessing that the only potential problem with not getting the "Pro" version is that, while I will have the templates, they will not come with the complete methodology, am I right?

A: Yes you are correct in asserting that the MPMM project management process already comes with the same type of templates that you have already purchased from Method123.com

However MPMM project management process in itself is a much more comprehensive and powerful tool set then Method123. By upgrading to the Professional version, you will actually receive an entire methodology for managing projects. This methodology describes how to complete every phase, activity and task within the project management life cycle, so that you know what steps to take and when, to complete projects more successfully. By purchasing MPMM, you will also receive a complete project management process which describes how to use the templates you have already purchased, and how these templates fit together. Of course, it also includes an entire suite of project management case studies as well, so that you can learn how other projects have completed their deliverables for customers successfully. Although there are some differences between the Professional and Standard Editions of MPMM, the biggest difference is that the Professional edition now comes with the “Methodology Project Manager” which helps you to build and customize your own project management life cycles. I hope that answers your question.

Lean Methodology

The use of lean methodology has grown in the manufacturing sector since it was first implemented after World War II. As time has progressed, this methodology has been refined with the end result of creating more, faster and with less. The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it. This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
