Kelly Project Solutions is a blog run by North Carolina-based project manager Robert Kelly, who founded the blog with Jasmin Valentin-Kelly in July 2010.

“Our blog takes a more holistic, strategic view of Project Portfolio Management to illustrate the benefits and true value-add of the discipline within the organization,” Robert says. “Kelly Project Solutions help our clients realize their vision by leveraging a combination of impartial project management methods and seasoned associates to tailor solutions to today’s economy and at costs modest to the successes enjoyed by our clients.

“We offer the following services to meet our customers where they are at in their project management environment:

• Project/Program Management Resources
• PMO Development (Internal or Hosted)
• Consulting Services (Assurance, Salvage, etc)”

Robert told us that while he was impressed with the volume of blogs available on matters pertaining to project management, he felt KPS could provide a more corporate view in PPM matters.

“There are so many excellent blogs on Project Management best practices from and for the Project Manager,” he says. “We didn’t see many that are focused on the enterprise, executive view and this is where we as a profession need to get more support.

“Our intended audience includes the executive management of an organization. The PMO Director, CIO, CFO that needs to fight through the sales pitches and understand the real value and potential of Project Portfolio Management at the enterprise level.”

KPS offers between two and three new posts each month, offering outlets for project personnel from some strong career backgrounds – Robert has over 11 years in Project/Program Management experience in IT Services, Product Development, and Business Process Redesign, while Jasmin can point to over 10 years of experience in various finance roles at some of Wall Streets largest financial services firms.

The most widely read post concerns project success rates:

• Can Project Success Exceed 47%

Robert pointed to other non-KPS posts that served as his personal inspirations:

• ZDNET: CIO analysis: Why 37 percent of projects fail
• TALKING WORK: It’s All About People
• OLIVER LEHMANN: 100 Hundred Rules for NASA Project Managers (.pdf)
