Idea behind the Inception of PMIS:

The single idea behind the inception of this center is to incorporate the project management view in information systems and technology consultancy in Bangladesh which was unprecedented before the commencement of PMIS. In project management approach, score, time, quality and cost are considered as the crucial elements, whereas the constraints regarding these elements are optimized scientifically which ensures overall efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, each project is considered strategically which underpins the importance of proper initiation, planning, execution, controlling and termination of projects.
