Network Enablers'
project management services are driven by our proven project management
framework:
Scope Management
At the start of the project your Project Manager meets with key
stakeholders to assess their needs, seek commitment and obtain the
approvals needed for project initiation. The Project Manager then
plans, defines and documents the objectives, requirements and project
deliverables to ensure everyone involved in the project understands
the scope of work before the project proceeds.
Schedule Management
To ensure timely completion of the project, a comprehensive schedule
is developed that covers activity definition, sequencing and estimated
duration. Realistic start and finish dates for all project activities
are gathered participatively then analysed using techniques such
as CPM and PERT to highlight major milestones and constraints. Your
Project Manager will develop Gantt charts to show expected durations
and task dependencies. The schedule baseline is used to communicate
status, evaluate progress, monitor variance and make recommendations
to ensure the project remains on track.
Project Integration
Project integration includes the processes required to ensure the
various elements of the project are properly co-ordinated. It involves
working with stakeholders to make necessary trade-offs between competing
objectives and alternatives. Your Project Manager will develop a
comprehensive project implementation plan to guide project execution,
facilitate communication, record decisions, constraints, assumptions
and risks, providing a baseline to measure progress and control
change.
Cost Management
To ensure your project is completed within budget, cost management
is used to control the cost of the resources needed to complete
the project activities. Your Project Manager will obtain cost estimates
of the resources required to complete all project activities within
the work breakdown structure. This budget is used to measure and
monitor actual costs and control any variances.
Resource Coordination
Resource co-ordination involves making the most effective use of
the people, finance, tools and equipment needed to ensure your project's
success. We will work with you to determine the project's roles
and responsibilities, reporting relationships and getting staff
assigned to work on the project. Your Project Manager will provide
direction to the team and co-ordinating activities and resources
throughout the life of the project.
Communications Plan
Effective communication ensures timely and appropriate generation,
collection, dissemination and storage of project information. Your
Project Manager will develop a communications plan, establish a
central source of project information and facilitate the exchange
of information to ensure everyone involved is kept fully informed.
This includes the regular status and progress reports needed to
make informed decisions, track performance and monitor project activities,
milestones and deliverables.
Risk Management
Project risks are uncertain events or conditions that may cause
the project to deviate from the project plan. Risk management is
the systematic process of identifying, analysing and responding
to project risks. Your Project Manager will develop a risk management
plan to identify, quantify, monitor, respond to and control project
risks.
Quality Management
Quality management helps to ensure the project's deliverables are
on time, within budget, according to specifications, while meeting
the user's needs and expectations. Your Project Manager may develop
a quality plan that identifies the standards used to plan, manage,
control and deliver the project effectively. Quality assurance and
control techniques are used to provide confidence that the project's
deliverables satisfy the relevant quality standards and business
results.
