From the CMCS Founder
Dear Colleagues
I would like to start first by thanking our 2,250+ clients, partners and CMCS family who
has made CMCS what it is today and who are continuously helping us to grow.
CMCS was founded with a clear vision in mind, and that is how we can help our clients
eradicate failed project investments. Failed projects could be ones that were wrongly
chosen to begin with, as well as those that failed to achieve their desired objectives.
Project failure is more than only finishing late or over budget.
Achieving this vision requires enabling our clients to build environments that professional
project management practices can flourish in. Organizations that are known for their
successful project delivery track records will earn loyal customers, who will entrust them
with their project investments. These organizations have a much greater value for their
investors than groups that no one is willing to retain.
So how can we help those organizations to build the necessary sustainable project
management friendly environments? Well, the answer is very simple: CMCS will firstly
help your organization to strengthen the capacity of your team in managing projects and
initiatives through professional development programs that are based on internationally
recognized certifications. Secondly, we work with you to build project management
policies and processes based on global best practices for managing projects, programs
and portfolios to ensure speedy and efficient delivery. Finally, CMCS implements state-of-
the-art project portfolio management controls using the world-best tools in enterprise
project portfolio and risk management to support processes implementation, information
sharing, performance monitoring and the capturing of best practices and lessons learned.
Once you have the right people, processes and tools - coupled with the commitment to
change, your organization’s journey to a more successful project delivery will begin. It’s a
journey that will result in a number of tangible benefits and increase the value of your
organization such that you will never want to go back to how things were. Trust me on
that.
Enjoy professional project management like we do.

Why PPM Should Matter To You?
Organizations who have implemented Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions have reported major improvements in
their internal capabilities to execute their strategic initiatives by engaging PPM to select and deliver projects successfully right
from the first time. This enabled them to deliver the desired project benefits for their internal and external customers and thus
positively reflect on the financial and non-financial results of our clients.
Some of the benefits that PPM solutions have brought to those organizations include:
Visibility as all project investments will be captured regardless of their size, type, status, location, strategic importance,
strategy theme contribution, among others
Governance as documented project life cycle and processes will help the organization is setting the stage gates and
control points
Inclusivity to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the enterprise project management environment and no one
is left out.
Optimization of resource usage, manpower or financial, is critical for any project delivery especially when organizations
are delivering more work for less resources.
Predictability as an organization that have clear project plans that covers all actions and assumptions will be able to
deliver their projects in faster way than others
Issue Management to capture the details of all project records and use to support the resolution of issues as soon as
they arise.

CMCS PPM360° Q&A
What is Project Portfolio Management (PPM)?
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is the only proven and recognized method that help organizations to accelerate and
optimize their strategy execution by empowering them with the knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to identify, analyze,
align, select, prioritize, initiate, plan, execute, control and finally exit those project investments.
Why PPM is crucial for your organization?
With Strategy Execution being attributed as the key reason for strategy failure, it is becoming more obvious that a gap exists
between Strategy Formulation, Execution and Measurement. Strategy Plans tend to lack the mechanism to achieve targeted
objectives when not paired with a framework to link strategy to project delivery as well as strategy performance management.
It is no wonder that PPM is an integral element of any integrated strategy development and management framework.
What Is Integrated Strategy Development and Management Framework (ISDMF)?
For an organization to grow and become a leader in their industry, strategy formulation will detail the objectives that the
organization must attain across their different business units to achieve their vision. Those objectives will determine the learning
& growth and internal processes actions that the organization must achieve to attain their desired customers and financial
results. This will enable the organization to identify the different initiatives that they must undertake to achieve those actions.
Strategy execution success can be achieved when project portfolio management is engaged as it will provide the organization
with a proven roadmap for selecting the optimum portfolio of projects that are aligned with the strategic initiatives as well as
ensure that those selected project investments are delivered successfully right from the first time.
Having a single version of the truth on the performance of the execution of learning & growth and internal processes actions
and the success in attaining the desired customers and financial results is a must for an organization that wants to achieve their
vision. Strategy management provides the means for measuring and managing this performance in an integrated and
comprehensive format that not only will provide the organization with the knowledge and information to determine how
successful they are in achieving vision and but how to address the changes that might be needed to achieve their vision.
Why it is called a PPM Solution?
It is called a “solution” as each organization needs different PPM improvements depending on their project management
maturity level as well as needs. Based on those requirements, a PPM solution is designed and developed taking into
consideration the required policies and procedures to implement the solution, professional development needed to operate the
solution and the information technology tools needs to capture, analyze and report on the projects status.

shares personal experience while soon
understanding yours on the way to PMI principles.
The energy he brings turned the mundane into a
provocative and interesting learning experience. He
possesses a wealth of diverse cultural experience
and language fluency that enables him to engage
everyone in the room. In our PMP exam
preparation training, he turned our whole group of
individuals feeling “I don't think I can do this" into a
group of comrades; from IT to Construction,
believing “I got this, I can do it, I understand these
concepts and processes and can effectively bring
them to my work. Well Done Munzer! Daniel

needed for the successful delivery of our clients’ project investments. Our CPD takes into consideration our clients’ demand for

internationally recognized project management certifications to ensure that the resources can successfully attain those
certifications. On the other hand, our technology usage training will be based on the best and most used project management

Our approach will help organizations not only in building qualified project management resources but create an environment
that will attract professionals to join and excel. Although our Competency Development Program is based on internationally

About the Course
The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA
®
) has created the Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP
®
), a
designation awarded to candidates who have successfully demonstrated their expertise in this field. This is done by detailing
hands-on work experience in business analysis through the CBAP® application process, and passing the IIBA
®
CBAP
®
examination.
Certified Business Analysis Professionals are experts in identifying the business needs of an organization in order to determine
the best solutions, a role that is increasingly seen as a vital component of any successful project. More and more companies are
recognizing the CBAP

Reason to Attend
Businesses must make every effort to minimize risk and increase profitability. This means selecting the right investments, and
including only the necessary scope within those investments. However, we need to address every stakeholder’s needs so that
everybody remains committed. How do we accomplish this fine balance? That is where we need the Business Analyst.
Business analysts often play a central role in aligning the needs of business units with the capabilities delivered by information
technology and the organization as a whole, and may serve as a “translator” between those groups.
Who Should Attend
Any person who performs business analysis activities, no matter what their job title or organizational role may be. Business
analysis practitioners include not only people with the job title of business analyst, but may also include business systems
analysts, systems analysts, requirements engineers, process analysts, product managers, product owners, enterprise analysts,
business architects, management consultants, and those who also perform related disciplines such as project management,
software development, quality assurance, and interaction design.
