MMPB provides a single and consistent methodology for project/business managers to manage project-based business. It formalizes the essential components to ever project to plan, analyze, define, design, deliver and maintain project components and the set of resultant work products. Thus it provides a platform for managing projects successfully.
MMPB Methodology is developed form a large base of proven methodologies, which have been used successfully by project managers for a number of years.
The author has used common vocabulary currently being used in project management subject while preparing its specifications. Thus qualified project managers and leaders find no difficulty in understanding it. MMPB simplifies project management and defines this complex subject as the process consisting of sub-processes for defining the project, and then delivering the project to achieve agre4ed upon end products and services.
MMPB shifts project managers’ focus from managing the projects to managing the project-based business. This has great significance and makes this methodology unique form other similar methodologies. This has been done keeping the fact in mind that most of the projects fails because of business reasons and not because of technical reasons. Most of the available methods and tools focus on project delivery processes (that is project tracking, performance monitoring etc), while the seeds of the failure of the projects are sawn in project definition phase. That is why MMPB (and PMCS) focuses more on project definition process (that is project qualification, risk assessment, quotation, proposal and contract building etc.) but still does not ignore delivery phase process.
MMPB Methodology Framework has been defined as ‘Composite’. The composite defers from normal Framework definition in one important aspect. It is mandatory in Composite that each product in the Functional Box must interface with each product in the adjacent Functional Box through a common platform using common specifications.
MMPB as shown in the Framework design above is based on seven independent ‘Module of Functional Box’. Each Module Box will include Processes. Each process is defined to perform a single function. The function will be performed following the series of the ‘Activities’. The activities are further divided into tasks. A common set of deliverable is defined for each activity. A Function should Module Box will adopt common interfacing specifications to and from the common platform.
