APM News

The APM Assurance SIG is launching a new people workstream.

Construction sites throughout history have been vulnerable to unforeseen events, be they violent storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or armed attacks.

The discipline of project controls and planning is one that has been developed and demonstrated across many industry sectors over many years, with good practice being readily available through many organisations.

What is the role of project managers when it comes to life sciences? What kind of challenges do they face? Does the sector’s complexity require a unique skill set? These and other questions were debated by a group of influential life sciences project leaders at an APM round table, held at the Royal Society of Medicine.

While the contribution of project management to productivity has often been assumed, evidence about this relationship is rarely examined.

Welcome to the latest edition of the APM PMO SIG Newsletter! In our summer 2018 newsletter you can read about progress in our quest to spread the PMO word far and wide.

We tend to think of project management as primarily construction or IT-related projects, however, project managers are required in all industries - no less the production sector.

It’s refreshing to see a case study presented by someone who is not in any way qualified as a project manager.

  Programmes that run over budget, behind schedule and don’t deliver the intended promises have many underlying factors that cause poor performance.
