project

Project management is effectively the defining of goals and the bringing about of their achievement in a specified period of time. In practice, your project is broken down into manageable stages, thereby making it simpler to handle and easier to understand the processes required.

Compusoft Systems focuses its project management skills to the Information Technology field. These skills are applied when customising software to fit your business needs, complete computerisation of your organisation (hardware, software, training, support), managing year 2000 projects, and developing your IT strategy.

You would need our Project Management service when:

Critical resources are limited in quantity and/or time available.
Windows of opportunity require concise, effective action to seize maximum benefit.
A well-defined collection of tasks can be executed to create a single result.
Tasks and activities are interrelated and complex.
Coordination of effort can lead to minimum time and expenditure.

Compusoft Systems Project Management service includes the following elements:

1. Goal and Scope Definition and Management.
2. Work Breakdown Structure.
3. Time Management.
4. Cost Management.
5. Procurement/Contracts Management.
6. Organisational Planning.
7. Risk analysis/Avoidance (mitigation of risk elements).
8. Communications and Human Resource Management.

In practice, this is how we get started:

1. Review your requirements. Look for obviously ambiguous or conflicting elements.
2. Identify critical resources, materials and capitals sources.
3. Identify applicable government regulations. Meet with regulatory agents to clarify questions.
4. Look for functional designations that make sense to treat as major segments of the project.
5. Begin planning conceptual design work - as we proceed we look for conflicts with requirements.
6. Start looking for ideas that can save costs while maintaining functionality and aesthetics.
7. Create an initial work breakdown structure.
8. Prepare a project master schedule.
9. Allocate tasks to team members. If project is sufficiently large, plan a team building workshop.
10. Prepare the project budget.
11. Prepare a comprehensive project plan.
12. Conduct a risk analysis review
13. Take costs out as the design develops -- constantly look for effective ways to cut costs.
