Project Portfolio Management We can help whether or not you have a PMO, or if you want to create one.  Afinitus helps you answer the essential questions about your project portfolios: How do we prioritize projects? When is the best time to start new projects? How do we know which projects contribute most to our goals? How do we know which projects are not in our best interest? How do we deal with "never-ending," cost-bleeding projects? We can also show you how to deliver more projects in the same time frame, without adding resources (see picture at right).  And that means nothing but goodness for your organization.    Afinitus has a wealth of experience with project management in a number of diverse organizations.  Here's a list of some of the types of projects for which Afinitus adds value:

Construction From Public Works construction to homebuilding, Afinitus helps you save money, finish projects sooner, enter projects more quickly into revenue service, and contain labor costs.   Engineering We can help your engineering department release drawings significantly faster, and release much more in any given timeframe, while relieving pressure to add resources.

New Product Development Being first to market can mean millions of dollars in sales which would otherwise be lost to competitors.  Afinitus can show you how to get high quality products to market first,without sacrificing features.   Software Development Our software clients have increased productivity as much as 400% while greatly reducing scope creep and better managing developer resouces.

Major Assembly & Production Assembling aircraft, ships, jet engines, etc. are best managed as projects.  Some of our greatest successes have come from this sector.  Our experience ranges from defense MRO work with wheel and track vehicles, helicopters, jet aircraft, and submarines, to commercial airplanes.  We can help you, too.

Engineering To Order We can help move on-time delivery for ETO projects to new heights.  At right is data from just one of our clients.   And more! HR Projects, IT Projects, Real Estate Development Projects, Medical Projects, Insurance Projects, Training Projects, Government Services Projects and more can all benefit from our approach.

Project Rescue Does your organization, whether public or private, have a major project in severe trouble – running far behind schedule, bleeding money, facing scope cuts, with no obvious light at the end of the tunnel?  Is it starting to look like you should cut your losses and walk away from what was, and probably still is, a very important project?  Before you pull the plug, let us take a look.  Chances are Afinitus can help you recover the project and deliver the original scope.  We offer turn-key solutions to bring troubled projects back on track and to successful completion.  The technical solution is still up to your team, but the execution of the plan will be done under our daily management and direction.  We’ll also partner with you to insure that our services work to your financial benefit.  Before it’s too late, contact us for more information.
