GDPM - Goal Directed Project Management

Goal Directed Project Management (GDPM) is a straight forward approach to project management and has been successfully applied in many different projects. The GDPM website provides an overview on elements, the project process, available tools and important quality aspects. GDPM reduces the paperwork to a minimum and lets the project leader focus on the most critical issues for the success of the project - the results. The main benefits of GDPM are:

• Balanced focus on all areas of project achievement (also soft areas)
• Plans and reported progress are easy to communicate in a non-expert language to all involved parties
• Consensus on goals and results is achieved through a democratic planning process
• Plans are stable due to a separation of milestones and activities
• A clear definition of the roles each individual shall play to reach agreed goals
• Well proven procedures for measuring the progress
• Encourages simple non-bureaucratic administration
