Project Management Support from start to finish
You know exactly which initiatives you want to accomplish this year; we can help get you across the finish line.
Phase Zero Partners has a proven track record of successfully helping organizations like yours achieve their goals. Over the last four years we have delivered over 40 projects for our clients. Our experienced project managers understand the importance of quickly embedding with your team, building trust, and providing immediate relief.
Whether it’s managing complex projects or providing insight into process and portfolio management improvements we would be happy to talk about being your project management partner.
Our clients have three common problems that we help solve...
Your team is overwhelmed. Running full scale projects on top of their normal job can be challenging, if not impossible. We can provide immediate relief by taking on the internal and vendor project management load.
The same people that are key to running day to day operations are also responsible for delivering new projects. This creates potential conflicts as people attempt to balance their primary responsibilities with the additional work of planning, managing, and delivering strategic projects.
​
-
Our experienced team of project management consultants can immediately alleviate the strain your team is feeling. Phase Zero Partners only works with project managers that have 10+ years of experience and understand how to provide immediate relief.
-
Our flexible staffing model allows you to determine the amount of support you need, without the full-time contract commitments other support providers often require.
-
Example: Since 2021 we have been supporting key strategic projects for our credit union client in Ventura, CA. Our expert staff have managed 10 key strategic projects and their IT audit process. This support has allowed their business line teams to focus on smaller initiatives while we manage the large scale implementation involving multiple teams and vendors.
The Day Job Problem
You have a PMO team with the time and ability to manage your projects, they just don’t have the experience to effectively manage your most complex strategic initiatives. We can help take the pressure off your less experienced project managers while integrating them into our process, providing valuable experience for future projects.
Our client’s staff may not have the right experience to run complex strategic projects that cross multiple business lines and vendors. Even our smallest clients take on huge projects every year.
​
-
Every Phase Zero Partners project manager has over 10 years of experience managing technical projects that cross business lines, IT, and vendor teams. We understand the full cycle of large initiatives and how to manage contractual reviews, scope, risk, and communication.
-
Our consultants know how to embed effectively with a team, building trust and increasing communication transparency through our service driven methodology.
-
We are experienced in managing large project groups and the challenges that come with multi-team capacity allocations for implementations and testing.
-
Example: Another credit union client had decided to implement Genesys Cloud telephony across its organization encompassing over 30 locations and 400 employees. The current project management team had very limited experience with a project of this size and impact, we were brought in to ensure success. We managed every aspect of this project, from vendor evaluation and selection, through implementation and testing.
The Experience Problem
Your projects suffer because every initiative is managed inconsistently. Projects that go well are often because of the individual heroics of a few teams members. You know that you need a consistent method of managing and delivering projects but don’t have the capacity to implement a full system.
There is no common delivery model or process for new projects and initiatives, or your model is just not suited for your needs. Every project turns into a unique challenge as teams try to prioritize projects, define success, manage progress, and measure the benefits realized from their work with no common framework to draw on.

-
Building lean Project Management Offices (PMO) is our specialty, starting with delivering a framework for immediate relief that can scale incrementally for future organization growth.

Our decades of experience working in Project Portfolio Management Organizations across multiple industries enables us to quickly hone your PPMO vision, analyze your current state, and create an iterative process improvement rollout strategy.

Our team’s library of Project Management templates jump starts your PPMO build.
-
Example: Our client in Southern California is in the process of building their first Project Management Office. We have partnered with them to do discovery and training to help accelerate building their organization. Starting with discovery we helped them define their vision. From ideation through final execution we have partnered with them build the process to track and define initiatives, prioritize key projects, and execute those projects in a consistent manner.
