Project management is both  a science and an art. The science includes understanding of systems, processes, techniques and tools. The art is strongly tied to interpersonal aspects and staff management. All managing staff are expected to be very well versed in the science of project management. And what's more important, among diverse team members a spirit of cooperation and achievement should be forged.

Initiation

It's often been said that doing the right project is first important thing that should be considered in project management. To start a project off right and ensure that the project is based on a true need, hard thinking and thorough research should always been taken. To guarantee the project success, our services in this phase usually centre on the following tasks:

  • identify all the stakeholders, define their roles, and start to coordinate and communicate with them

  • select the right team members, match assignments with the members' skills, develop good relationships among the members

  • design specific, realistic, measurable and timely objectives for the life cycle of project

  • develop the statement of work (SOW) consisting of stakeholder roles, goals, scope, deliverables, cost estimates, and communication guidelines

  • identify, quantify and develop action plan to deal with any likely risks  back

Planning

Project management planning is essentially a roadmap to guide work from start to finish. It is vital for doing the project right. In this phase, our services target:

  • detailing objectives for projects, risks, and constraints

  • developing the work breakdown structure, the schedule, and the budget

  • creating a network diagram and making the future match the predictions

  • developing schedules for task durations both manually and computer-aided, based on best-case and worst-case scenarios

  • determining the critical path on the project

  • establishing and documenting the budget as reliable and reasonable as possible

  • creating a skill inventory to match the right people to the right tasks, taking the accommodation of personality disparity into consideration

  • specifying all the resource requirements and verifying their cost estimates

  • generate the plan for project approval  back

Implementation

Execution of a project is a very crucial time in project life cycle. If we start the implementation phase in the right way, the likelihood for success will be greatly enhanced. Our services in this phase include:

  • hold kickoff events that clarify project objectives, responsibilities, and operating procedures

  • employ appropriate methods and implement appropriate leadership style to motivate, coordinate, facilitate and manage the project team

  • adopt the correct organizational structure (project, functional, matrix, or mixed) to maximize the management success

  • extend approved rules and expand the operating procedures

  • enhance effective communications and improve overall control of the project    back

Controlling

During the implementation phase, we have to deal with changes, problems, and unexpected circumstances constantly. We should always rely on ongoing monitoring,, open communications, and careful analysis to make proper adjustments to the plan so that the management can be kept moving toward the ultimate goal. We know how to leverage knowledge and information to keep the project under control, on time and within budget. We can:

  • monitor the project, compare it the the plan, and make necessary adjustments

  • resolve emerging conflicts, eliminate the negative consequence, and turn meaningful conflicts into positive impact on project

  • work on assessing and ensure the quality of the project's deliverables

  • act with candor and clarity when problems surface and develop honest appraisals with documentation    back

Closure

In the close-out phase, dissolving a project takes time and effort. In order to bring a project to a proper conclusion, the final evaluation should be conducted. The services in this period usually include:

  • evaluate the whole project management and gather input for the final report in such ways as designing questionnaires and scheduling meetings

  • deliver the final report with the project summary, analysis, evaluation, recommendations, etc.

  • choose relevant report packaging options for different people to review

  • evaluate the performance of each team member    back
