Different Functions for Project Management Methodology Client Request: Can you please add more content to the Help and Tutorial sections in MPMM Professional? Support Team Response: Yes, as we add new functionality to each new version of MPMM, we continually update the Help and Tutorial sections. In time, we hope to be able to offer you a more automated and interactive Help and Tutorial sections, through animation and voice. However this feature is probably 12 months away. At the moment we’re concentrating on more core development features and the potential integration of current worldwide standards into the MPMM project management methodology. Client Request: I’ve created a project management methodology using MPMM professional, in fact – more than 30 all told. The reason is that I like to create a slightly different variation of each methodology for every new project I undertake. Every time I start a new project in MPMM, I duplicate a methodology used for a prior project, to be use...

Project Management Life Cycle Trial Period Q: Hi. We’ve been trialing the MPMM project management life cycle standard edition for some time now, but we have just got the error message “A valid license could not be obtained”. Can you please advice? A: This issue is most probably because you’ve tried to wind the clock back on your PC to extend the free trial period. We have added some clever code to identify when this happens and prevent people from extending their free trial indefinitely, otherwise we’d be out of business! If you want to extend your free project management life cycle trial period, then the best way to do this is to download the project management software to another PC in your company and trial it for the full trial period length there. You can usually only download a free trial to a single PC once. We believe that the free trial periods are long enough for you to get a good feel for this project management life cycle and make your purchasing decision. The MPMM Suppor...

Project Management Process Training and Primavera Q: We provide project management process training and I am interested in using your project management process for training. We will purchase the education version but I am interested in using the same material to create Powerpoint presentations as well as map the process in to Primavera.

Tip…Why Project Management Life Cycle are Different Here are a few tips about a project management life cycle. Project Management Life Cycle is different than other types of content displayed within MPMM project management life cycle , as they are not just content that you read, they are real-life living documents that you export into Microsoft Office and fill-in to create a project deliverable. Within MPMM, we have two copies of each template ; a copy that you view (in HTML format) and a copy that you export (in Microsoft Word or Excel format).

Selling my own Project Management Methodologies Client Request: It is cool that I can now add my own project management methodologies. I have some clients that I want to be able to release my own project management methodologies to. I understand that I can just resell them MPMM and then export my current project management methodologies and allow them to import it. So I can then in effect, sell them my own methodology. That is great, but when I do this, I will also want to add security protection for the project management methodologies that I sell them. For instance, I may want to be able to prevent them from copy/pasting content out of the product, accessing certain areas of my methodology or make it so that only a certain number of people at my client’s site can use it. If you could do this, then I’m able to sell my own project manager methodology and license it to a specified number of users. Is this possible? Support Team Response: Yes this is definitely possible.
