What is Project Management?
The term "Project Management" indicates different things to different people. At Roeder Consulting, project management is the holistic set of technical, business, and interpersonal skills required to effectively get work done. Project work, as opposed to operational work, is temporary in nature and is typically constrained by a set timeline, budget or scope. Most project management firms focus on the technical aspects of project management: software programs, processes, documentation, and so on. At Roeder Consulting, rather than concentrating solely on the technical side of strategy management, we emphasize understanding and working with people. We have served as pioneers to the industry as it develops a balanced approach to project management and organizational change - this requires a number of considerations including business acumen, change-specific interpersonal skills, and technical processes and templates. We call this approach “A Sixth Sense for Project Management®,” and our methodology is changing the way the world thinks about effective project management.
