The Vision Method™ for Project Management

A remarkable project scheduling technique.

The Vision Method™ is a three day course, with one day of theory, and two days focused on scheduling techniques and familiarization with the templates. The theory is intricately linked to the templates we’ve created, eliminating the need for traditional tools and ensuring seamless application.

A course based on real world techniques.

Created and refined through years of experiencing the same problems project after project, we teach the techniques that our consultants use every day. This is not a theoretical course; we spend just twenty percent of our time training and eighty percent of our time managing projects with the processes we teach. We know this technique works, because we employ is daily. The step-by-step process allows for greater accuracy all around, so multimillion dollar projects are delivered on time and on budget.

Replace your traditional Gantt chart with the Vision Chart.

Gantt charts are always a step behind the curve. They are recording and tracking mechanisms, used at a granular level to help drive results. Dependency management is one of the key reasons Gantt charts were created, but Henry Gantt himself admitted it’s nearly impossible to keep dependencies in check after there are more than thirty. We’ve developed a scheduling chart that provides the benefit of managing dependencies, but allows for individuals to read and follow the plans like a task list and timeline. This method will have you thinking less about where and how to get to the next step, because it’s detailed into the project plan.

Focus on eliminating barriers.

Effective project management is about eliminating barriers to being productive. We’ve identified some of the biggest barriers to efficiency, and created a method to dispel them. We outline possible barriers to completion from the beginning, as teams are more cohesive when everyone understands the goals and possible challenges.

Learn how to create success at the individual level.

If you want your project managers to drive the team efficiently, they will need to learn the fundamentals. Your PMs will learn necessary terminology, how and why to break projects into phases, and how to detail those projects into plans that everyone can read. When you view project management as a service to help people succeed within their atomic units, it fundamentally changes how you support them, and how they respond to your support.
