Program Control Analysis

The manager of any project faces critical challenges during every phase of the project's life cycle. APPEL delivers support for project control to intact teams at their Center locations during project formulation and implementation.

Project Management

Whether a team requires help with project planning, risk management, or project visibility, APPEL consultants help teams master the techniques, tools, and skills of effective project management -- from analyzing fundamental issues through meeting complex challenges during any phase of a project's life cycle.

Project Business Management

Cost, schedule, and technical compliance are the hallmarks of a successful project. As every project manager knows, the three are not easily balanced. Performance Enhancement programs help practitioners to lead project planning activities, price project work, conduct risk and opportunity management evaluations, manage a project's baseline, and control cost and schedule.

Managing Large-scale Projects

The procedures, methods, tools, and techniques used for managing tasks and sub-projects are effective in principle on large projects, but do not scale up directly. APPEL consultants mentor senior project managers on the unique aspects of project control and analysis on large projects.

Managing Global Programs

Workshops and mentoring services assist practitioners working with international partners. According to project needs, APPEL addresses cultural challenges, global risk management practices, adoption of international standards, and long-distance communication.

Services include project support for:

  • Using project management tools and techniques effectively
  • Fostering a productive project culture and enhancing communication between project team members
  • Integrating opportunity and risk management into the project management culture
  • Adapting management processes to the demands of large-scale projects
  • Teaming with international partners
