Disciplined project management makes hard things finishable.
The PM framework, applied to one of the hardest projects most people will ever run.
The Divorce Project applies traditional project-management discipline — scope, stakeholders, risk, communication, governance — to the divorce process. The book is a working demonstration of what disciplined PM looks like when the stakes are personal.
How Carver Aspen engages
Three engagement models, sized to the project. Hourly when you need a thinking partner, end-to-end when you need someone running the project, capacity-augmentation when your team is good but stretched.
End-to-end project management
Carver Aspen runs the project — scope, schedule, budget, risk, governance, and reporting. Best for organizations without internal PM capacity, or for high-stakes initiatives where the team needs to focus on the work, not the wiring.
- Project charter + governance
- Schedule + budget management
- Risk + issue management
- Stakeholder communication
- Status reporting + closeout
Capacity augmentation
Your team has the right structure — they need a senior PM in the trenches for a defined window. Carver Aspen plugs in alongside an existing PMO, owns specific workstreams, and steps out cleanly when the work is done.
- Workstream lead
- Critical-path delivery support
- Documentation + reporting
- Process improvement
- Knowledge transfer
Hourly consulting
Sometimes the right help is two hours, not two months. Hourly engagement for project framing, charter review, governance design, risk assessment, or talking through a hard decision with a senior PM partner.
- Project framing + charter review
- Governance + roles design
- Risk assessment
- Stakeholder strategy
- PM mentoring (1:1)
+ RACI Pack
Two of the most useful one-pagers in PM, in one pack.
The project charter forces alignment before kickoff; the RACI keeps the work moving without meetings about who owns what. Used together at kickoff, they save weeks across the life of the project. Free when you join the Carver Aspen list.
Replace this placeholder with your MailerLite or Substack form code.
Tag subscribers general-pm so they get the charter+RACI auto-delivery.
