Executive Summary

Client understood what good project management was and wasn't.  They had hired another project management consultant to help develop the plans for a new software solution for their business.  After 3 weeks, it was apparent that this project management consultant was more about paper, and less about getting to the understanding of the project and getting the project done.

Our Project Management Consultant was brought in to help develop the project plans and to help manage the technical resources of  the software project. A complete assessment and recovery plan helped right the project and to make the client obligations via a successful delivery of the project.

Existing Project Manager was ineffective.  A change needed to occur.

• bureaucracy and paper were developed that were not necessary

• Project Manager was not working with the technical staff

• No clear understanding of project status

• Poor communications across all the business and technology functional areas

Following our experience and industry best practices for project management, the team quickly established the leadership and development of the plans necessary to effectively understand the tasks, resources, level of effort and the sequence to make the client obligations. The team also addresses any organizational factors that were causing the projects to fail.

 

The project management consultant also developed the project management infrastructure and repeatable processes so the client could do more of it on their own for future projects.
