The Value of Project Management

Various surveys and studies have found that implementing project management in organizations and projects delivers value, such as:

- Improvements of 50% during project execution
- Improvements of 36% on client satisfaction
- Improvements of 30% on employee’s satisfaction
(Survey by Crawford & Pennypacker – PMI)

Hiring a project manager may also help organizations:

- Free up time needed to focus on new business development or employee's current job descriptions.
- Save money on overhead that would be spent on a full time employee.
- Allow you to cost-effectively reap the benefits of someone specializing in an area that may not be within your professional realm of expertise.

What business owner wouldn't want more time, less money spent on overhead, and an increase in client satisfaction!?
