We have found that a consistent methodology streamlines project completion and improves customer and sponsor satisfaction. We have developed a multi-phase project management methodology that is applicable to both simple and complex projects based on best practices. We can supply the expertise to help you apply this methodology or develop a custom one for your organization. Phase 1: Identify project initial project Concept and Stakeholders. Define what subject matter expertise is needed for the project team. Estimate initial budget and timeframe. Document proposal. Phase 2: Define project Scope: clarify both business and technical requirements in quantifiable terms. Confirm or modify initial resources, time and budget constraints. Phase 3: Use appropriate Planning Tools to develop project plan: Work Breakdown Structure with specific skills identified, effort and duration estimates, and sequencing of activities. Prepare a Gantt chart, load and level resources and develop a detailed project budget. Phase 4: Optimize Plan by assessing, analyzing and developing preventive and contingency plans for risk. Re-evaluate entire project and make any necessary trade-offs for best outcome. Present finalized plan and obtain approval. Phase 5: Execute and Control project, tracking accomplishments by comparing planned progress to actual. Track and manage changes with change control system as required. Phase 6: Close Out project by completing all tasks. Review product/service and project management process. Evaluate what went well and what could have been improved. Document lessons learned.
