Objective:
The purpose of ProjectSCAN™ is to assist your organization in accelerating the application of sound project management practices, enabling you to better deliver high quality IT projects that meet mission needs, are on time, and within budget. Your organization will gain a detailed analysis of strengths and areas for improvement, and a concrete action plan. Your organization will also be able to benchmark where you stand against the aggregate of project management performance information in CPM’s ProjectSCAN™ database.

Scope:
CPM will survey up to 300 personnel in your organization, and will conduct personal or telephone interviews with six key organizational representatives. CPM’s marketplace-proven “ProjectSCAN™” assessment tools will be used to weigh your organization’s strengths and areas for improvement against the sound project management practices embodied in CPM’s 24-step Project Process Architecture. In addition, your organization will be benchmarked against CPM’s broader ProjectSCAN™ Performance Database (PPD). The PPD includes project management performance information from a variety of private sector organizations. Your organization will receive a Management Action Plan (MAP). This plan offers recommendations that are tailored specifically to the needs of each organization. The MAP is primarily designed to introduce repeatable project management into the organization’s IT environment.

The ProjectSCAN™ Assessment concludes with an Executive Report that includes the five following elements:

A benchmark of your organization’s maturity level for future assessment
         A benchmark of your organization’s maturity level against CPM’s existing database
            of ProjectSCAN™ assessments
         A Management Action Plan (MAP), with detailed recommendations to improve project
