Not every project management team has the depth and experience to handle everything a company throws at it. As a project management professional, have you ever felt like you needed some outside help to complete a project successfully? It could be that your team doesn’t have the right skills or expertise for a particular project, or you just have too much to do and not enough experienced people to do it. You might also be facing a project that isn’t well-defined or adequately supported, but your executive team still wants to move forward.
Maybe you’re a business manager, and you’ve watched past projects come in late and over budget. Or you might have a big project on the horizon that you know your staff isn’t prepared to handle, but you don’t want to add headcount. Running a lean organization is important, but it shouldn’t affect your ability to complete projects on time, within budget, and with the results you expected. Relying only on internal resources may leave your project open to failure, so consider if it’s time to look for outside help.
If your in-house team doesn’t have the skills, experience, or staffing needed to tackle a large or complex project, you might consider bringing in an external business partner. The same holds true if your project requires specific expertise, such as familiarity with regulatory oversight or industry certifications, that your company doesn’t have in-house.
Have you found yourself in the middle of a project that’s going out of control, behind on schedule, or over budget? Or are you and your stakeholders having difficulty defining your project’s objectives, or determining the best way to meet an acknowledged need? If so, then an outside project management consulting team could bring just the experience and perspective your company needs to get back on track with a successful plan.
You may also be thinking about establishing a strong internal Project Management Office, but you aren’t sure how to start. A business partner with the right expertise will help you create a path to building your own team of in-house project management professionals.
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, then your best course of action might be to bring in an outside group to help manage your project and support your Project Team. By using an external project management consultancy firm, your company gains a variety of tangible benefits. You’ll have access to a huge amount of experience, and can pick and choose the skill sets and areas of expertise you need for each project. And once your project is finished your company isn’t stuck trying to find long-term in-house roles for highly experienced project management professionals.
