Pinnacle Insights

Many Enterprise Project Management implementations live or die based on their ability to implement Critical Path Method techniques (CPM) across the organization. Other’s have a critical need to optimize scarce, expensive and shared resources. Organizations make a significant investment in an implementation, but may fail against their original objectives because of the difficulty of implementing CPM.

Pinnacle offers staff augmentation services delivered by our PMTalent Solutions business line.  

Pinnacle has partnered with Deltek based on their best in class and proven products in the IPM and EVM space. The majority of our Deltek implementation projects include Deltek Cobra.

In recent years the practice of Earned Value Management (EVM) has seen a significant resurgence. 

The DoD EVM utilization and application is the most mature and discerning of all the US Federal Agencies. 

The Army, Navy, Marines and the Air Force have been requiring the use of EVM longer than any of the Civilian Agencies.  The Intelligence communities within the DoD do not have the same reputation regarding the stringency of their DoD EVM requirements.

This service is for organizations that either do not have an EVM capability in place or need to improve their current EVM capabilities. 

Deltek Cobra comes with a default configuration that lets you get up and running quickly. However, it is a very configurable tool that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Project management is a combination of methods and disciplines used to define goals, plan and monitor activities and resources, resolve issues, and control costs, scope and schedule for a specific endeavor.
