The Project Management Performance Series
A set of validated assessments created by project management professionals aimed at improving
project outcomes across the organization through data-driven insights you can trust.
In a world characterized by constant flux, embracing proven project management practices have never
been more important. At the same time, the project management profession is evolving and embracing novel
ways of managing risk, keeping stakeholders informed, and ultimately delivering value in a predictable,

ways of working proven especially effective in business environments characterized by volatility,
