CMS – Project Management for Professional Services

Every day, the government buys billions of dollars’ worth of goods and services from businesses. In an ongoing effort to assist businesses interested in selling to the government, the New York City Department of Small Business Services APEX Accelerator offers this six-part Contract Management series.

Effective project management is key to winning and successfully executing NYC contracts. As a Minority or Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) in professional services, mastering the tools and techniques to manage scope, cost, and compliance will set your business apart in the competitive public contracting space.

Why This Workshop Matters: NYC contracts come with unique challenges, including strict compliance requirements, detailed documentation needs, and tight schedules. This workshop equips you with practical strategies and a structured framework to overcome these challenges and deliver successful projects every time.

What You’ll Gain:

• Develop NYC-Focused Project Plans: Learn how to create compliance-driven plans that cover onboarding, budgeting, and risk management.
• Balance Scope, Cost, and Schedule: Master the “Iron Triangle” to meet deadlines and budgets without sacrificing quality.
• Engage Key Stakeholders: Build strong relationships with NYC agency officials, subcontractors, and team members to ensure alignment and success.
• Document for Audit-Readiness: Implement best practices in documentation and reporting to meet NYC’s strict audit requirements.
• Close Out Contracts Efficiently: Follow NYC-specific procedures for final reporting, compliance, and record retention to secure future opportunities.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to apply the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) framework tailored to NYC contract requirements.
• Techniques for managing stakeholder communication, risk, and change while staying compliant.
• Practical tools for tracking progress, reporting metrics, and ensuring audit readiness throughout the project lifecycle.
