As such, the version used by GPI Asia is JEP Version 1.0, which corresponds with CMMI® Level 2, better known as “Project Management Best Practice.” JEP enables clients to create, manage, and monitor projects online from anywhere. JEP promotes communication and cooperation among project stakeholders, embeds workflow and baseline creation, and integrates all modules together, which benefits clients by allowing them to enter information only once and only what’s necessary.

We recommend the QS tool set for a very small to small organizations (5 – 20 people) to quickly implement the new processes and justify the processes as you move on.
