Project management
Technical project management for the development of web-sites and other systems
We have managed dozens of successful IT projects from initiation to completion.
The advantage of having a technical background when managing a project is effective communication with programmers. It also helps to know what can and can't be done - we don't make promises that we can't keep.
A typical process used to run a project will start by defining and agreeing deliverables and a schedule for delivery.
Deliverables vary according to requirements but often include business requirements, wire-frames, functional specification, creative design, technical specification and finally the tested system.
We have found particularly good results by taking an iterative approach which delivers an early prototype and staged releases of functionality with feedback from the client.
Some of the activities usually undertaken are:
- Budgets are managed meticulously and weekly reports are written which contain updates on financial and scheduling information
- Where out of scope variations are requested, they are documented and signed off by the client before proceeding
- A fault tracking system is used to ensure that faults are fixed, tested and signed off
- Our insistence on quality through rigorous testing and attention to detail ensures that the final system is of the highest quality
- Be assured that our people skills are also excellent. We have been humbled in the past by the great feedback we have been given by our clients.
