Project Management Resources Plans

Project Management Resources - Plans Released Leaders in the Project Management Template space, Method123.com today announced the release of their latest template toolset, for Resource Planning . The template toolset addresses a unique area of the market, around the creation of resource plans for projects.

Project Life Cycle PMI and Prince2

“How is the Project Life Cycle included in your product, aligned with PMI and Prince2?” When writing our Project Life Cycle content for both Method123 and MPMM, we started with the two worldwide standards, PMI and Prince2. The objective was to create a suite of content that was aligned as closely with these 2 worldwide standards, without infringing on their intellectual property rights. We wanted to define these standards at a more detailed level, so that they could be implemented for projects more practically – while remaining generic enough to suit all project types and all industries. We believe that we have achieved this. The product suite is closely aligned with the Project Life Cycle included in these two worldwide standards, and it’s one of the few products in the market that has achieved such a close level of alignment.
