Services
Overview
pmFAQtory was founded on IT project management consulting, and this continues to comprise the majority of our business. We’ve developed significant subject matter expertise in the health care arena, as much of our latest work has been at large health care organizations in the Midwest.
We lead and deliver complex, strategic projects on time, within budget, and under tough conditions. Our past work — contact us for examples — demonstrates our knack for meeting difficult deadlines, adapting to changing requirements, resolving conflict, thriving despite constrained resources, fighting scope creep, and navigating thorny political environments.
