About EuroPM
Over the past 6 years, all of our large customers have returned to us for additional projects. We were even nominated twice by our clients for the Best Project Management Contest, recognizing our commitment to excellence.
67% of IT projects fail. It is your decision whether your project will succeed. Project planning influences success even more than project execution. Get a project manager who is able to plan and control your projects. We offer best-of-breed project managers with many years of experience, professional certifications (including PMP), and membership in leading project organizations like PMI, IPMA, and the Czech Association for Project Management. We primarily serve Central and Western Europe, but cover other regions as well.
Why choose EuroPM?
Exceptional experience in project management and communication across numerous successful projects.
Flexible engagement – easier to hire and release, without long-term commitment.
Specialized skills that may not exist in your in-house team.
As a deliberately small company, we maintain unparalleled flexibility and never require clients to change their habits or processes. We apply rigorous selection criteria for our project managers, test their knowledge and experience, and provide tailored training on cutting-edge PM practices and industry-specific environments. This ensures our project managers and team leaders remain best-in-class.
