The Project Success Method®

A Proven Approach for Superior Project Management

Course Overview:

 

The Project Success Method® (PSM) Course is a two-day training program designed for professionals who manage, support, or sponsor projects. With more than 40 years of global application, the methodology offers a structured, repeatable approach to defining project goals, developing actionable plans, creating credible schedules, and maintaining control throughout the project lifecycle.

Through instructor-led training, practical exercises, and team-based activities, participants are introduced to the principles and application of the Project Success Method®.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants earn a PSM Digital Badge, recognizing their completion of training provided by Project Success Inc. The badge can be displayed and shared to highlight this professional development achievement provided by Project Success.

Individuals who successfully complete the PSM training are also eligible to pursue the PSM-F® (Foundational) Certification, which requires passing a separate examination to validate their foundational knowledge of the methodology.

Together, these credentials distinguish PSM training completion from demonstrated knowledge through certification, providing a clear pathway for continued professional development.
