MPMM helps you deliver any size of project.
MPMMTM is a scalable Project Management Methodology, meaning you can scale it up to fit larger projects and down to fit smaller projects. Of course, you define the terms 'larger' and 'smaller' however most Project Managers define a project's size based on the:
 |
Total financial resources available |
|
Number of team members involved |
|
Number and size of deliverables to be produced |
|
Complexity of deliverables to be produced |
|
Timeframes involved in delivery |
As the project size increases, the complexity of the project will often increase as well, as illustrated in this diagram:
To achieve the best results with the MPMM Project Management Methodology, we recommend that you scale it up or down to fit each project's size and particular needs. You do not need to adopt MPMM in its entirety for every project within your business. Instead, MPMM is designed to help you 'pick-and-choose' specific activities within the Project Life Cycle that will add maximum value to your project. The following matrix lists the project activities typically undertaken for small, medium and large projects:
