Years of experience have demonstrated that effective planning and management are the keys to a successful project. When you have an important information technology (IT) project, you can count on BCG Systems for processes that are proven to achieve your desired results - on schedule and within budget.
Employing the project management standards endorsed by the Project Manage-ment Institute (PMI), we will work jointly with your internal project team to create effective plans and establish good communications and control.
All types of projects will be managed using these techniques to insure that you have custom developed applications, a productive network or business software package.
OUR METHODOLOGY
BCG Systems follows these standard process groups to manage your project:
Initiating
Ensuring that your project gets off to a good start begins with engaging the right staff to create a working project charter - the central tool for guiding your project to completion.
In addition to defining your project's objectives, critical success factors and scope, your project charter will identify internal and external team members, along with their roles and responsibilities; describe the project control strategy, and establish the cost and time budgets.
Planning
BCG Systems applies industry-standard tools and techniques to ensure the success of every project. Whether achieving your business objectives requires a simple or very complex project plan, we will work with you to make sure it's effective.
From work breakdown structures to network diagramming, scheduling to Gantt charts, your project plan will identify all of the tasks required to finish the project, complete with a detailed timeline.
Executing
With BCG Systems, work on your project starts only when all of the stakeholders are fully prepared and ready to go. Our planning assures you of an approach that's effective and efficient, rather than one that feels "off the cuff." You can be confident that our consultants' focus will be on your business requirements, not redesigning the wheel.
Controlling
Well prepared to monitor your project, your Project Manager will make sure that your time goals and milestones are met, quality work is delivered and your project comes in on budget.
To ensure that everyone involved is aware of exactly where we are at any point along the project lifecycle, stakeholders will receive timely status updates and participate in ongoing project meetings.
Closing
When your project has been completed, we will sit down with you for a thorough review. You will decide if your objectives were met. Our series of formal project sign-offs will ensure that you won't be stuck with a perpetual "90% complete" project.
Through a combination of processes and best practices development and implementation methodologies, BCG Systems will work hard to assure you a thoroughly successful project that not only meets, but exceeds your expectations.
