The main challenge in project management is complexity
The DPPM methodology starts with the realization that the number one challenge in project management is complexity. Therefore, process by itself cannot ensure success. In fact, process for process sake actually compounds complexity, burning your most important resource: your project team’s valuable time.
The solution is to focus like a laser on the core thread of deeply practical processes that apply to any kind of project in any domain, maximizing the chances of project success with the least process overhead. Some processes are really, really important. But everything else you should leave to your team leads. So then you can spend most of your time leading, managing, and solving the problems your team cannot, and your teams can spend most of their time on the actual work.
By controlling the complexity and preventing it from getting out of control, you will be able to maximize scope, budget, and schedule performance, increase customer satisfaction with the end result, and enhance the arc of your career as you gain a reputation for managing projects efficiently to the most successful outcomes (possible in the circumstances ;-).

Testimonials
Christopher Irons
Over the course of a 20 year career I have purchased many training materials, video courses, study guides, etc, and this was hands down the best material I have ever used.
Dan Bischoff, PMP
I am interviewing for a PM position in two days. This course boosted my confidence and gave me valuable insight into key PMBOK areas I haven’t considered since I received my PMI certification in 2012. And I’m able to improve my resume since I now understand how PM functions I’ve been performing for years are much more valuable than I thought.
Mark Thorogood, PMP
I have been a PMP since 2006 and learned so much from this course, truly outstanding.
