Project Management

Definition:    “An integrated framework for project organisation, planning and control designed to ensure the timely and cost effective production of the end product, maintain acceptable quality and achieve the benefit for which the investment in the project has been made”.

Effective project management is about helping you to get what you want within the constraints that exist.  A project’s three main constraints are normally:

Time     The amount of time available to complete a project
Cost     The budgeted amount available for the project
Scope   What must be done to produce the project’s end result

These three often compete with each other: increased scope typically means increased time and increased cost, a tight time constraint could mean increased costs and reduced scope, and a tight budget could mean increased time and reduced scope. Our expertise will help manage these conflicts and ensure the best result for you.

Project Management is composed of many activities including:

• Planning, analysis and design of the work or objectives
• Assessing and controlling risk (Risk Management)
• Acquiring and allocating resources
• Organising the work and work schedules
• Assigning tasks and directing activities
• Controlling project execution and Quality Management
• Defect prevention and issue management
• Tracking and reporting progress, communicating to stakeholders
• Project closure and analyzing the results
