Project Management Service

If you are about to make an IT investment you’ll want to be sure that you are going to get the benefits you’ve planned for, but unfortunately IT projects often fail to do this.

There are many reasons why IT projects disappoint, but most of these tend to boil down to one common cause – poor Project Management.

In our experience, problem IT projects typically contain the seeds of failure at their beginnings, but these are not identified and weeded out soon enough.

Alternatively, project can be adequately planned at their outset, but they are then poorly executed leading to over-spends, over-runs, and gaps between what was expected and what is received.

This is where we can help.

Our Project Management experts are PRINCE2 qualified, and have successfully led multiple mission-critical IT projects valued at more than £1million.

This level of expertise can be applied to your project to help you get the most from your IT investment in one of five ways:

We can conduct a one-off ‘Project Health-Check’ to assess the state of your existing or planned IT project, whether it is likely to deliver the planned benefits (on-time and to budget), and whether you need to take any additional steps to manage risks and avoid failure.
We can provide part-time or interim Project Managers to help coordinate activities at key/busy periods, or to fill a gap in the event that key staff members suddenly leave your project or your organisation.
We can help mentor your existing IT staff to improve their Project Management abilities through on-the-job assistance and coaching so that they become more competent project managers through practice rather than theory.
We can provide a full-time Project Manager to oversee all aspects of your project, and to be directly accountable for the project’s success.
We can assist in the rescue of a failing IT project, where necessary providing an unbiased and independent assessment of the root causes of failure, whilst taking the necessary steps to correct these problems and at the same time striving to maintain momentum where appropriate.
