VPMHR 101
Your Program & Project Engine Room
Stay on top of scope, resources, and timing with three-dimensional status, portfolio dashboards, and planning calendars. Every project, every milestone, every decision finds its place, so Monday morning status requests stop being a fire drill.
From scattered updates to structured status
When everything is aligned and managed realtime, there’s no need to waste time copying/pasting project updates from emails, meetings, and chat threads into spreadsheets that leaders don’t read
Project Definition
Define your project overview clearly – scope, sponsors, and objectives – using our structured, interactive chartering process, so that you don’t have to recreate it every time someone asks “what is this project again?”
Watch our Project Charter in action
Issues and Risks
Capture status, issues, risks and decisions where they belong, tied to the project, with owners and due dates attached. Get ahead of roadblocks before they form.
WORK SMARTER
Do more with less chasing
Let VPMHR handle the structure so you can focus on the work. Built-in governance, accountability tracking, and portfolio views mean less time assembling updates and more time delivering results.
Decision Tracking
Every “yes”, “no”, and “let’s revisit” gets captured with who decided what, when, and why. No more hallway agreements that magically evaporate by Friday.
Governance Built In
Chartering, status reporting, and escalation paths aren’t afterthoughts. They’re baked into how every project runs from day one.
Portfolio View
See all your projects across programs in one place. No more stitching together a dozen spreadsheets the night before a leadership meeting.
Built by someone who’s been there
VPMHR was created by Vincent Tuckwood, author of Project Management for Human Resources and a practitioner with nearly 30 years delivering HR programs at organizations like Pfizer.
Built on hard-won lessons from the trenches of HR delivery – arguably the most hostile place to make projects work – this is program and project management designed for success.
“This is the toolset and approach that I used to collapse a ‘free-for-all’ of 144 projects into just 40 active, prioritized work-streams aligned within 5 strategic initiatives; and to take majority Red status to Green across the board within 6 months. Only I had to do it in multiple spreadsheets, slide decks, data warehouses and printed pages!” ~Vince
“Full of practical insights gleaned from real-world experience, this book nails it. If you want to get things done in Human Resources, this is how to do it.”
~Laurie Ruettimann

It started in HR!
I built VPMHR to deliver the toolset that I’d used to make program and project management work in HR
(if you’ve never managed an HR project, you likely won’t understand just how hostile that environment can be)
which was all based on solid, proven methodology such as PMBOK. Did I make some tweaks? Sure, based on what works.
Once I’d launched VPMHR to HR, the funniest thing happened. Non-HR program and project managers started using it – and they liked it!
So here’s where we are:
- Was VPMHR built for HR? Yes.
- Does VPMHR work beyond HR? Absolutely.
- Can I hide the HR stuff if I want? Yup, that’s a preference in your profile.
First month is free, so see if it works for you!
Want to bring program and project discipline to your HR function?
VPMHR is ready to go out of the box, check out the sandbox to see how it works in practice. If you need help setting up your data in the system, white-glove onboarding is available.
The background and specifics about what needs to happen beyond the toolset – it’s a lot! – are fully detailed in my book, Project Management For Human Resources.
Want someone to just do it for you?
We deliver HR project management services for organizations that need the structure, the tracking, and the accountability, without adding it to someone’s already full plate (read more about how we do this).
