Updating PM Principles and Methodologies

Challenge

An understaffed clinical operations project office in a major pharmaceutical company needed to update and incorporate project management principles and methodologies.

Solution

A Pentico consultant quickly learned the company environment and helped the project office prepare for a quarterly review. The consultant documented internal procedures, initiated testing during development, and also mentored another project manager who was preparing for a more technical position.

Results

The incorporation of project management methodologies, best practices, and process documentation created more buy-in from clinical teams on the usage and importance of project management procedures and documents.
