PM Solutions, the leading provider of project management consulting, training, and research, announced that the latest version of its Web-enabled Project Management Community of Practice (PMCOP) methodology solution, which aligns with the latest industry standards contained within the Project Management Institute's (PMI(R)) PMBOK(R) Guide 3rd Edition, is now available. The PMCOP gives Global 2000 organizations one source for hundreds of easy-to-follow forms, templates, practices, and guidelines that can be applied immediately to improve project execution and operational efficiency.

PM Solutions' Project Management Community of Practice (PMCOP) supports the active use of repeatable processes across all projects within an organization. Having a standard process in place for managing projects accelerates project start-up time, increases project speed, and makes project results more predictable.

"Companies can be sure that they're getting the most up-to-date practices and knowledge aligned with the authority in project management - the Project Management Institute."

PM Solutions' updated PMCOP is easy to use, customizable, and scalable. The PMCOP brings practical best practices, templates, guidelines, and reference materials directly to the organizations' fingertips. It clearly defines project management roles and responsibilities, and features a robust glossary with the definitions of nearly 400 key project management terms. Its simple and intuitive interface requires minimal user training, and is adaptable to integrate with a companies' intranet or existing project management software. It also features full search capabilities, a software development project handbook, and an integrated knowledge center.
