Project Assessment 

27 Point Best Practices Project Diagnostic

"This tool really helped to leverage our strengths and improve our weaknesses.  Combined with the interviews and post-mortem session, this  was an extremely valuable tool in focusing our efforts and opening some eyes."  Project Manager - $3billion Leading Technology Corporation

Description:
Research suggests that more than 50% of projects fail to meet original expectations or success criteria.  In our minds, this number is unacceptable.

Would you like to compare your project to best practices to start off on the right foot, keep it on track, continuously improve, or support some key decisions?

Our proven LSA Project 27 Point Best Practices Diagnostic Tool™, which is often combined with interviews, our Principles of Project Management Workshop and a customized Project Post Mortem Session, is based upon multi-industry project management best practices and research.  The pinpoint results provide targeted recommendations for success by helping project leaders and teams to:

• Get on the same page.
• Avoid classic mistakes.
• Apply best practices.
• Identify and manage risks.
• Clarify project status.
• Recalibrate, determine areas of focus, and identify specific next steps.
• Implement proven solutions that will work for your specific project, culture, and situation.
