For every day a project doesn't get completed, you'll lose money and will miss out on the benefits of “Live.” We'll bolster your project management (PM) and ensure success on time and on budget.

Problem Statement - Investors, board of directors, and executives of middle-market companies need to know with certainty that project and/or development dollars are well invested and they need to be further assured that risk is both understood and minimized. Project shortfalls — whether cost overruns, deliverable delays or other problems—compromise corporate success, diminish company value and decrease investor confidence.

The cumulative effects of poor PM are visible across four cross-sections of the organization:

Right Approach -Executives should adopt a "point-in-time" assessment approach to their ongoing projects that identifies the risks associated with a client's project. Project areas that need to be regularly assessed include the existence of an adequate amount of business analysis, effective project management, appropriate project team skill sets, precise resource planning and allocation, solid technical infrastructure, intelligent data integrity policies, and also good planning and execution in areas of training and change management.

The project management function must independently and objectively identify and report the status of project components. It is also necessary to validate risks of project issues, including gaps in plan vs. performance, and staffing and skill requirement mismatches. Finally, the manager must audit all these issues – budget change management, scope creep, compliance, etc. – to ensure success of the organization's business initiative. There needs to be a continuous synchronization between project resources and project sponsorship at the executive level.
