WHAT MAKES ePM DIFFERENT
There are other project management programs available but most are geared toward established corporations and don't effectively address the dynamic nature of small, high-growth companies.
We teach how to manage constantly shifting priorities, team members juggling multiple roles, and a rapid pace - and how to be successful in an environment where project delivery is critical for success and sustainability.
“Crista and her team provide a learning environment that truly sets you up to succeed. Having calls to expand on a specific topic, with resources and templates provided for each, lead to systematic, real-time progress within our business.
The hiring section saved us countless hours of work and re-work.
I also liked how you knew enough about each person's business to inject comments specific to them and their business during the trainings. It made it more tangible and created a more personalized experience for each of us.
I can't recommend this program enough! Thank you!”
