An evaluation and comparison of the project management practices, experiences, communication, tools and policies that determine the client's ability to deliver projects on time, within budget and without surprises.

Approach

The Project Management Institute breaks project management into nine areas - Management of Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Risk, HR, Procurement, Integration and Communication. Each of these is broken down into further areas to bring a total of close to 40 components that make up successful project management. In order to access client's environment against the defined components, Aarisha will:

• Review a client's methodologies, procedures, reporting standards and communication processes
• Determine business area project relationships with the IT organization
• Collect current project performance metrics

Result

After the assessment is complete, Aarisha identifies gaps and develops an action plan for enhancing the environment. The action plan includes:

• Recommendations of the appropriate project management tools to deploy
• Process revisions to enhance communication and productivity
• Training suggestions to reinforce strategies implemented
