Program management in HR has been forced into tools designed for other disciplines. VPMHR is a program management platform built exclusively for HR. Manage program status across three dimensions, map projects to the People Cycle framework, and give stakeholders the program management visibility they need. Program management that speaks your language.
Fifteen spreadsheets tracking different projects.
A PowerPoint deck that takes half a day to update before every leadership meeting.
Status updates collected via email chains that nobody can find later.
Resources assigned to everything, accountable for nothing.
And when someone asks “how’s the portfolio looking?”…
… you spend an hour pulling it together instead of actually answering the question.
One place for your entire HR project portfolio.
Projects, resources, issues, decisions, and strategic alignment, all connected.
Status that tells the truth across three dimensions: scope, resources, and timing
(no more hiding problems behind a single green indicator)
Built on the People Cycle® framework: Plan, Engage, Perform, Reward, Develop.
Program management that maps to how HR actually works.
Every project tracks scope, resources, and timing independently. Problems surface early instead of hiding behind a single green light.
See who’s assigned to what across your entire portfolio. Know who’s overloaded, who’s accountable, and where the gaps are.
Tag projects to your organization’s strategic themes. Show leadership how your portfolio connects to what actually matters.
Track what’s blocking progress, what might go wrong, and what’s been decided. One log, linked to projects, with clear accountability.
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, this is program management designed for how HR actually works.
“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, powerpoints, 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.”

No. VPMHR is program management, not project management. It tracks status, resources, and strategic alignment across your portfolio. It doesn’t manage tasks, timelines, or budgets within individual projects. If projects are the airplanes, VPMHR is air traffic control.
We get it. You’re in the middle of implementations, firefighting, and a hundred other things. The last thing you need is another tool to set up!
With white-glove onboarding, we take care of it. Send us your data and we’ll load your projects, resources, and strategic themes so your VPMHR account is ready to go from day one.
There’s a one-time $300 setup fee, and then you hit the ground running.
No. If you can use a web browser and fill in a form, you can use VPMHR. No installation, no configuration, no IT support required. Should we add a coda: That said, we do assume that you understand the basics of program management.
Yes. VPMHR supports CSV imports for projects, resources, groups, programs, and strategic themes. A step-by-step wizard guides you through uploading, mapping columns, and validating data before import. Downloadable templates are available for each data type.
It’s designed for HR, built on the People Cycle framework (Plan, Engage, Perform, Reward, Develop) that maps to how HR work is structured in the real world. That said, the core functionality works for any team managing a portfolio of projects. HR is where we start, not a hard boundary.
