Project Management

  • “Turn Key” Project Management Service: Integrity Partners manages all the details, and tracks and reports on the progress every step of the way, so that you can focus on what you do best: Setting direction and making decisions.
  • Methodology: Use of methods such as the PMBOK (PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge), the Capability Maturity Model (CMMI), the Agile IT development framework, and the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Example of Project Management Methodology
Project Phase Process
Initiation Project Organization and Initial Scope Management
Vision document and scope statement
Planning Scope Management Plan
General Project Plan Development
First Draft Task List, Timeline, Dependencies and Cost Estimates
Customizing SDLC to Project (will include requirements definition, change management, task assignment, quality planning and work/cost tracking among others)
Risk Planning
Update to Project Plan, Estimates and Timeline
Execution and Monitoring and Controlling Tracking Tasks and Timelines
Executing Communication Plan
Initiating Corrective Action
Closing Milestone or Version Approval
Roll-Out
  • Project Management Software: Efficient and effective use of Project Management software tools such as Microsoft Project.
  • Metrics: Appropriate use of measurements such as “earned-value” to improve project efficiency. Examples include: Cost Variance; Schedule Variance; Variance at Completion; Cost Efficiency; Schedule Efficiency; and Estimate at Completion.

Methodology, Software, and Metrics, are primarily focused on improving the efficiency of a project. It’s evident that project execution is typically the weakest area in project management and is primarily dependent on clear direction at the executive level followed by an active accountability-driven management culture. Integrity Partners practices, and preaches, that Project Management is ultimately about managing people, not software and methodologies.
