Maximizing Team Synergy Key to DNS Approach Success

Program and Project Management Support (PMO Support)

Managing projects in today’s environment is challenging. Many project managers are overburdened and over-extended, and oftentimes do not have the time nor resources to concentrate on the most important aspects of their projects. Details may be missed or postponed; small issues can unnecessarily spiral into large problems. Getting the right kind of support and level of expertise is essential.

DNS provides program, project, and portfolio management support and expertise. We have supported organizations in standing up PMO offices, as well as restructuring and/or supporting existing PMO offices. DNS has the tools, knowledge, and expertise facilitate your success.

DNS knows teamwork wins the race, and we focus on establishing a winning team environment. Management ensures that all team members have a clear understanding of the customers’ goals and their role in support of the business components needed to support them.

Our approach to program/project management includes application of the principles in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK). In doing so, we help ensure our customers' success by:

• Focusing first on customer needs and end-state goals.
