The many development project management methods cannot plan and develop specific project benefits, capture development costs for specific performance solutions, nor measure development costs against actual result value-added to find the return on investment.

Rule No. 7 of the 10 rules of 21st century management is Manage Investments to gain a planned result value return. The enterprise cannot manage benefits unless the specific results to be produced by the developed capital are organized and managed. The enterprise cannot manage costs to know return on investment, unless the specific performance solutions being developed are defined and managed.

R-pM uses unique bottom-up Result-performance Development to develop both the costs and benefits of development, so that they can be tracked into operation to provide the planned and managed return on investment.

R-pM provides a business structure for capital development project results produced and performance solutions utilized for effective project management and to capture of costs of new solutions developed as project results.
