Critical Path Management™ services consistently deliver projects on time and within budget more than 90% of the time, so there is a low probability that projects will miss their time and budget goals. Furthermore, InSync Solutions LLC requires a free 8-hour project assessment to determine the level of project risk. The purpose of this assessment is twofold; it allows InSync Solutions LLC to determine if the project is too risky to qualify for the on time/within budget project guarantee. Also, the level of project risk determines what the project rate discount will be for the project guarantee: those projects with lower risk will receive a higher discount, and those projects with a higher risk profile will receive a lower discount. 

Decades ago, Ms. Tomasco discovered the project critical path concept while working in MS Project®. Realizing that if the critical path slipped, the project slipped, she determined that the best course of action was to optimize the project critical path. She did this by focusing on the management of the tasks on and near the project critical path. Thus, Critical Path Management™ services for project management began. As a result, the C³ Model, Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination were developed to complement Critical Path Management™ services. Over multiple decades working primarily in project management, Ms. Tomasco has been exposed to Waterfall and Agile project management approaches. The techniques that work well with CPM were incorporated into the Critical Path Management™ services. For decades CPM services have been extraordinarily successful: over 90% of projects are delivered on time and within budget.
