Project Management isn't just about timelines and deliverables, it's also about a firm's profits, reputation, stability and growth. In today's competitive business environment, organizations must be able to deliver the benefits of successful projects in a more cost-effective manner. From time to time they embark on projects that are strategic in nature and simply “too important to fail”. These kinds of projects require an elevated level of project management expertise, advanced diagnostic tools and a higher degree of focus than what organizations can typically provide internally. 

We regularly facilitate:

• Program charters that define scope and goals
• High-level and detailed network-based schedules
• Activity identifications, including durations, responsibilities and resources
• The time-cost tradeoff process and validation of schedules
• Staffing analysis
• Validation and compression of schedules
• Establishment of governance procedures, standard reports, coding structures, metrics and templates
• Work Breakdown Structures that identify work phases, deliverables, and activities
  
• Generation of status memos for key stakeholders
• Client instruction in the use of project management tools/methods
• Generate reports to inform stakeholders of project status
• Identify areas that need attention by the project manager
• Enter data into the project management software
• Update project files during the normal schedule update cycle
• Update Web sites, shared drives and databases
• Serve as an onsite expert in project management software tools
