The following flow diagram depicts the typical thoughts and decisions
of someone who is frustrated with their current system for project
management. Their frustrations, fears, & goals lead them to discover
the existence of something new and dramatically better than the old
systems that have existed for the past 40 years.
CCPM is so unique, some of the differences are so subtle, and our
acceptance of the previous dogma is so thorough and unquestionable,
that it can be overwhelming at first. Most people need training and
time to practice, try CCPM, and prove to themselves that it really
works.
Secondly, business is so competitive, resources are shaved so thin,
and expectations are so high, big mistakes cannot and will not be
tolerated. However, to stand still is to give up being in the
running; an even bigger mistake. Therefore, people need to experiment
with CCPM safely. The answer is to try CCPM with a few significant
but affordable test projects.
While some people have done it alone with no support system, with
adequate training, coaching, & support from CCPM specialists (like
PQA), the success of the CCPM test projects is significantly
improved.
Throughout the CCPM test project(s), all facets of the test are
closely monitored and reported. This is compared to a typical project
implementation, and an impact in "time to market", frustration, cash
flow, and maximum capacity are readily calculated. An ROI can be
calculated for going the CCPM route.
