Project Management Methodology

Minimize

6D’s Project Management Methodology is a comprehensive, scalable and easy to deploy set of tasks that includes all of PMI’s PMBOK® Guide Phases and Knowledge Areas. It is easy to assemble, tailor, deploy, maintain and improve your organization’s best practices.

6D Project Management Methodology

6D’s Project Management Methodology™ (PMM) provides a step-by step guidance to help you achieve repeatable project success. Everything you need to successfully manage a project is clearly defined with extensive task descriptions, clear roles and responsibilities at the task level, comprehensive set of document templates that cover all the important project management deliverables and it even includes guidance that allows you to tailor the methodology to suit the size, complexity and special project circumstances you may have.

 
 
The methodology takes a very pragmatic approach and is based on “what normally happens in organizations”. For example, we have provided special tasks outside the specific guidance of PMI’s PMBOK® Guide. An example of this is the inclusion of an Originate Phase - used by organizations to propose, evaluate, prioritize and select projects.
 

Methodology Structure

We know that you need to deal with various sizes of projects and you may not need all the details of the 150 or so tasks defined in the methodology. You can tailor the methodology and reduce the size of your project’s WBS for better manageability.
 
For each task in the methodology there is extensive knowledge content to ensure full understanding of the task and the deliverables required. We have included all the major deliverables required by PMBOK® Guide and cross referenced the tasks in the methodology to specific sections of the PMBOK® Guide Phases and Knowledge Areas. Special Kickoff Meeting Agendas with suggested topics and phase-end Checklists are all designed to help you implement the methodology fast and successfully.
 

Intuitive Project Interface

We have built the methodology directly inside the Microsoft Project interface so you can use familiar tools to manage all aspects of the methodology.
 

Task Descriptive Content - Screen Shot

Tasks in the Project Management Methodology are cross referenced to the specific Knowledge Areas and Process Groups of PMI's PMBOK ®Guide.

Each Task has many sections of information such as Overview, Objectives, Inputs, Deliverables, Tools and Techniques, Description or steps involved. All Topic headings such as Overview, Objectives, etc. can be tailored by you to suit your needs.

Task Roles and Responsibilities - Screen Shot

For each Task there are clearly defined Roles and Responsibilities. The specific Role (e.g. Project Manager, Project Team Member) and Responsibility (e.g. Primary, Review, Approval) can be tailored by you to suit your organization's standards.

The roles are defined at two levels: General Role Descriptions cover what the role does at the project level where as the Task Specific Roles describe what the role is supposed to do at the task level.

Roles and Responsibilities are summarized at the Phase (summary) levels.

Task Documents - Screen shot

Document templates are linked to tasks. All major deliverables called for by the PMBOK® Guide are included. You can link Templates, Examples, Standards, Policies, Procedures, References or even deliverables from other related projects. The document templates can be copied (using the copy icon) to create an instance of the document template for your specific project.

The Enterprise version of Project Catalyst allows you to link Windows SharePoint documents.
