Project Management

Project Planning
We can help you to identify objectives and deliverables, develop a project scope, assess risk, analyse tasks and estimate durations. With our assistance, you will combine all of this into a properly documented project plan that will predict project schedules and budgets as well as forecast resource requirements.

We can also assist with the design of project documentation formats that are appropriate for the size, scale and nature of your projects.

Project Monitoring and Tracking
We will assist you with the monitoring, tracking and interpretation of project progress reports, including an early warning system for problem detection.

We have also developed a methodology which encourages a rational investigation of project problems when they do occur and a guide for appropriate corrective actions. We have a multitude of suggestions relating to team organization and motivation, communications, stakeholder analysis, effort recording, cost analysis and the reporting of all of this to an appropriate scale.

Project Process Design
Design of project planning and reporting systems which will help to formalise the process by which projects are managed in your organisation. This can take the form of project documentation, business rules, meeting formats, reporting requirements and procedures for dealing with vital components of the management process such as communications, stakeholders and risk.

Earned Value Analysis
Learn the basics of this powerful reporting method designed to quantify cost and schedule progress. This makes use of a reporting system universally recognized in large and complex project environments where cost and schedule errors can be calamitous.

Project Management Information Systems
We specialise in designing and building project management database systems which can report project progress across the entire organisation in a simple and uniform manner. Using simple Microsoft Office tools such as Microsoft Access, Excel and Word, we are able to deliver custom-made systems quickly and effectively.

Project Auditing
Analysis and comments on your project plans in relation to aspects such as estimates, network integrity, completeness and level of resolution.

Project Estimating
Using our general modelling-based methodology, our consultants can work with you to arrive at rigorously and rationally derived estimates for durations and costs, providing your projects with stability and dependability. At the same time you will learn how to document these, establishing vital corporate memory for future work.

Project Risk Analysis
We apply the widely recognised 5-step risk management methodology to provide appropriately sized buffers for your work. This ties in with good estimating and project planning, providing a holistic approach to the establishment of a viable project plan. We are also experts with simulation packages such as @Risk which can provide invaluable insight into the severity of risk implied by your plans.

Documentation
We can provide rigorous documentation of business processes, project management methodologies, user guides, software tools, as well as provide testing services for your systems.
