PPMA brings an innovative approach and tools to project management through their expertise in process improvement, business system analysis, software development, and project management. Steve Vrabel, Allen Greenwood and Roy Allen Three Decades of Lessons PPMA was built on three decades of lessons captured from managing projects in Alaska and nationwide. Teaming our technical, academic and business skills, we manage successful projects on the proven knowledge that the outcome of any project is only as good as the process it follows.   Delivering successful projects to the customer—this was the first principle behind starting PPMA. As both educators and project managers working in the field, we saw firsthand the disconnect when staff would try to implement new project management knowledge into everyday workflow. Part of the solution was to have a well-defined methodology that also fit with other business processes.       back to top   Roy Allen, Industrial Engineer, M.S. rfallen@ppmassoc.com Roy is the business development manager, bringing 30 years of experience to each of our customers’ projects.
