We are project managers, instructors, and consultants:
With over 45 years of extensive project management experience, we understand your challenges and are committed to simplifying your need to deliver successful projects:
-
Professionals manage most non-profit projects without project management titles or training.
-
The lack of a defined workflow for project launch creates confusion and lost time.
-
Non-profit organizations typically do not provide a workflow or roadmap for project teams to follow.
-
Commonality and learnings across projects are not recognized or shared.
-
Typical project software tools often violate best practices, confuse, and overwhelm beginners.
"I especially like its built-in “smart templates" - which starts me off, then holds my hand every step of the way. This software helped me stay focused on accomplishing my goals and offered unobtrusive reminders to the events that needed attention. I also like how it allowed me to pull in other team members, allowing a more collaborative approach to assignments.
Project-Assistant software stands out as a complete package, rich in content, tutorials, and guided work-flows. Although it's designed with the beginner in mind, it's certainly more than just your average "To-Do" list. PA doesn't skimp with functionality and content and once you get the hang of it's unique user-interface, you're on your way to accomplishing your goals. "
