THE PUREPROJECT GROUP RELEASES PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLKIT TARGETED AT SERVICE BUSINESSES AND INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS.

SAN FRANCISCO – JANUARY, 14, 2003 –The PureProject Group, a project management consulting firm supporting service businesses and independent professionals, today announced the release of its Project Management Toolkit, a stand-alone product designed to deliver project management tools and training in a fast, fun and easy-to-learn format.

Most Project Management books and tools are focused on people working in large organizations. The Project Management Toolkit addresses the issues facing small service businesses and independent professionals. The five modules help small businesses understand and gain mastery over basic project management concepts including scheduling, budgeting, managing project teams, handling risk and building strong client relationships. Each module includes easy-to-read explanations of key concepts and exercises service businesses can use to put those concepts into action.

"We created the Toolkit because small companies kept asking us for simple, easy to understand project management materials," said Debbie Lefkowitz, PureProject Group Principal. "Our clients knew they could benefit from project management tools and techniques, but they couldn't find any books or training materials that addressed their needs. Having established project management systems in small consulting firms, we felt qualified to create such a focused package."

The Project Management Toolkit is available as a stand-alone product or as part of a customized consulting and training project.

The PureProject Group provides service businesses and independent professionals with the project management tools, techniques and skills they need to achieve their business goals and improve their bottom line. The PureProject Group was founded on the premise that project management does not need to be scary or frustrating. The company emphasizes easy to learn, easy to implement approaches that provide service businesses with immediate, bottom-line benefits.
