Establish a firm foundation for the success of large-scale projects with a PMO or ePMO. A well-structured PMO helps you implement new cross-organizational technologies and projects more effectively by reducing redundancy, benefiting from best practices, managing multiple projects efficiently, and easing the transition to new systems. We work with you to tailor project management tools and methodologies to your culture and project needs. We can ‘jumpstart’ your project by setting up and staffing your PMO, providing projects with the templates, processes, and tool support they need for a successful start-up.

Factual and anecdotal evidence confirms that IT investments are inherently risky. On average, about 70% of all IT related projects fail to meet their on-time, on-budget objectives or to produce the expected business results. Our experience on client sites for both government and commercial clients reveals that project leadership is a critical differentiator for success. Our senior project managers have both the certifications and the experience at leading and influencing others to resolve the most critical problems projects face. We make it a priority to understand how your organization creates value for its stakeholders and we take responsibility for delivering that value through successful project or program implementation.

Avoid staffing problems—let us bring in a dedicated team of additional staff to bring better efficiency and effectiveness to your project or work process. We provide clients with onsite personnel who possess the highest levels of expertise and professionalism. Whether you need a consultant for a 3-month project or a full time hands-on project manager, our “just in time” resources help you close the performance gap. With offices located around the nation, we maintain direct field contact with our onsite teams to ensure you get the performance you need.

We provide offsite resources to help you bring immediate project management capabilities directly to your organization for short term productivity gains and long term business value. Our professionals can perform remote project scheduling, project plan assessment, project oversight, and project planning and construction. Our staff uses proven communication and collaboration tools from Microsoft and Citrix to provide you the support you need — no matter where you are.

Avoid project cancellation and reduce the risk of failure. Our certified, senior project managers can help you salvage critical, but troubled projects. We will assess your current situation, report back on our assessment, and design a project recovery strategy to get your project back on track. Once you regain control, we can keep you there with project management support, monitoring, and expert guidance.

A well-planned project always includes continuous review, but internal reviews may not be comprehensive enough for mission-critical projects. Ensure that your IT project turns out the way you expected by conducting independent verification and validation (IV&V) of project work products. Our project managers and IV&V consultants have the business and technical expertise, tools, and diplomacy required to determine and communicate project progress and compliance.

A project schedule should be an effective tool for managing critical IT projects, but many organizations fail to apply schedule management best practices. They fall into traps, such as using percent complete instead of understanding what is really left to do and how long it will take. Our professional project managers and analysts have the ‘know how’ and experience to assist with schedule creation, updating, and schedule analysis and reporting. Whether it’s helping you improve an existing schedule or determine the real critical path for a large integrated schedule, we can provide the consulting, mentoring, or coaching your project team requires.

Do you need to be able to view at a glance what your staff is working on today, or forecast what they will be working on in the future? We install and configure a resource management solution comprised of tools appropriate to your organization’s size and complexity. Our business and technology project specialists then put in place the processes required to do resource management effectively and train your team to use them. The result—a solution that provides a single view of your work force and enables you to view metrics like utilization to make more effective staffing decisions.

Assess and audit your organization’s project management maturity and the health of critical projects to reduce risks and improve project success ratios. Let our PM experts guide your organization’s self assessment, using a process aligned with PMI’s OPM3® maturity model. This includes managing the assessment process, identifying capabilities and areas of practice not yet fully developed, and planning the implementation of improved processes. Or we can audit the health and ability of a single, critical project or program to achieve its goals, identifying risk elements and opportunities to improve success. This includes informal interviews with project team members, a review of processes, tools, and practices, and an analysis of project plans.
