Project Management
Regardless of the methodology applied be it PRINCE 2, PMI, PACE, BIM or any of the myriad of methods that exist, we believe that consistency and control are two of the constants that run through any of these approaches. Our methods and training courses encompass all that they have to offer and ensure that you can be confident in our ability to help you with all of your Project Management requirements.

Project Management focuses on providing specific deliverables through the balanced management of scope, quality, effort, risk, and schedule.

Project Management applies both to the efforts coordinated by Programmes and also to stand-alone projects, which may be performed before the required Programme infrastructure is established.

The Project Management discipline is conducted in its entirety for each project conducted within the change journey. Most planning efforts will involve individual project structures for each stage of Planning phase work. Work in the Delivering phase is governed by the Programme Management discipline and should consist of multiple projects scoped to specific deliverables and stages of the Delivering phase.

These are the basics that our approach covers:

• Manage Organization - Verifies the effective use of the resources involved in the project, including project stakeholders. It employs organizational strategy development, planning, staff acquisition, and team development activities.
• Manage Logistics - Verifies that a comprehensive strategy and plan are implemented to prepare and maintain the technical and physical project environment, including identification of both physical and technical requirements. These activities verify effective integration and maximum productivity of resources.
• Manage Communications - Verifies the timely and appropriate generation, collection, dissemination, and nature of project information. It employs communications planning, information distribution, performance reporting, monitoring, and administrative closure activities.
• Manage Procurement - Employs the processes necessary to acquire goods and services from outside the organization. The processes include procurement planning, solicitation planning, solicitation, source selection, contract administration, and contract closeout.
• Manage Workplan - Verifies the timely completion of the project through activity definition, activity sequencing, activity duration estimating, schedule development, and schedule control.
• Manage Financials - Verifies that the project is completed within the approved budget through resource planning, cost estimating, cost budgeting, and cost control processes. Verifies that billing and collection periods and activities are monitored and controlled.
• Manage Risk/Issues - Identifies, analyzes, and responds to project risks. It includes maximizing the results of positive events and minimizing the consequences of adverse events through risk identification, risk quantification, risk response development, and risk response control. Also verifies that issues that develop during the project are identified, addressed, and resolved in an expedient and diplomatic manner.
• Manage Scope/Change - Verifies that the project includes the required work to successfully complete the project and that critical changes are managed and properly communicated to affected stakeholders. This module is primarily concerned with defining and controlling the project, tracking, modifying, and controlling the steps for realizing the anticipated project benefits, and providing a structure to manage change.
• Manage Quality - Verifies that the project satisfies the needs for which it was undertaken, including identifying quality standards, evaluating overall project performance, and monitoring specific project results to eliminate the causes of unsatisfactory performance.
• Manage Implementation - Defines strategy for implementing new technology, new business processes, a new organization, or a new product. The processes involve developing a strategy, plan, execution, and post-implementation review.
• Manage Integration - Verifies that the various elements of a project are coordinated so that deadlines are met, duplicative work is eliminated, resources are maximized, and deliverables are of high quality. It requires negotiating tradeoffs between competing objectives and alternatives in order to meet or exceed stakeholders’ needs and expectations
