WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Testimonial #8

“Our project (the relaunch of Bard Education’s Discovery Zone) exceeded my expectations. Having the support of the Project Management Volunteers made all the difference. The project ran smoothly and finished within several weeks of our target date. We were able to respond to insights and feedback from our consultants and advisers, while avoiding scope creep and staying on track.

I cannot adequately express my admiration and gratitude for the Project Management Volunteers. Tolu Oloruntoba and Bernadette Andrade were consummate professionals. They understood and appreciated the nature of our project as well as the underlying philosophy and values that informed it. Their skills and insights supported and enhanced our work and ensured its success. Tolu and Bernadette offered structures that brought clarity to a huge, complex project, and they kept us on task with compassion and grace. I would absolutely recommend Project Management Volunteers to other not-for-profit organizations.“

Testimonial #7

“Our team at Vantage Point has partnered with PMV over many years. We recently connected to engage a project management volunteer to help guide the collaborative planning of our non-profit leadership conference. Mayowa’s strong knowledge of project management processes, communication, and organization skills helped us ensure we had a robust project plan, had identified risks and contingencies, and had enough flexibility to adjust details to the needs of a busy team and changing priorities. It was a pleasure to work with Mayowa and we would gladly work with her and the PMV team again in this capacity.“

Testimonial #6

“David and Shawn’s guidance was extremely instrumental in helping us set up a society in B.C. Prior to connecting with PMV, we had very limited experience and were new to official procedures. Receiving their advisory helped us transform our project into a registered society. We express immense gratitude to PMV, and very strongly recommend other non-profit organizations to seek their guidance when needed.”

Testimonial #5

“Our present IT project with PMV is going extremely well. David has played an invaluable role in helping us define the scope of our project and also helping us find a highly qualified IT Project Manager who has exactly the skills that we needed. This project is going to be a game changer for us.”

Testimonial #4

“Working with a professional project manager was a revelation! The Digital Non-profit conference has grown beyond what one person could properly manage. Our Volunteer Project Manager helped us establish new committees with clearly defined mandates and responsibilities, and then ensured that everyone was on track. We also have a Project Plan template that will be reused for future events. The true sign of success was the fact that I was able to take the Saturday before the conference completely off!”

Testimonial #3

“The Volunteer Project Manager did a lot in helping us review our current system and also to connect to new social media platforms. I think this lead to a better volunteer recruitment than in past years.”

Testimonial #2

“There are many disciplines involved and the PMV program and our Volunteer Project Manager helped us to understand that idea and process.  She also helped us to understand that a good plan can help with risk analyses but does not guarantee success. She also helped us to understand that we have to get the right people behind the project and that we need to account for continuing change, it is an inevitable part of planning today.”
