Welcome to the Enterprise Project Management Guidance site. This site is dedicated to the practice and study of project management in an organizational context. Project management has been around for a very long time but it is much more common in recent years to organizations working on multiple projects at one time and for resources to work on more than one project at one time. Enterprise Project Management (EPM) is the practice of working beyond a single project and a single project manager in a process that allows for many projects to be planned, prioritized, tracked, and integrated into the organization's business practice.

Here on the site you'll find articles written by the site's author and published in project management or business magazines. You'll find links to other useful sites, reading recommendations including book recommendations, information about enterprise project management software and even free software for EPM. We hope you'll find the site of use.
