IT projects begin as a concept, often dreamed up in ‘what if’ scenarios by management or technology groups.  The typical project is roughly outlined with a test phase assigned before being moved into production.  But are all the key stakeholders being involved in the development of the plan?  Oftentimes you get to the final phase of a project prior to its ‘Go Live’ and realize that a critical decision point has cropped up without a key stakeholder involved to assist with a decision.  Then the project team either sheepishly goes to the stakeholder for buy-in or moves forward making the decision without the expert being involved at all, just to meet tight deadlines.

Wouldn’t it be better to have a Project Manager to keep all the details straight?  And begin the project with the team by asking about all key stakeholders; including all the right people at project inception?  The project would have a critical path list of tasks and stakeholders, as well as a project document repository for reference along the way.  These are some of the primary roles of the Project Manager and key components of a successful project.

It’s common for an IT department to implement large and small projects throughout the year.  When was the last time your IT Project came in on time and on budget?  Did other work suffer as a result of effort and time spent on meeting critical project deadlines? 

Challenges like these can  be avoided  with help from an experienced Project Manager (PM).  With a Project Manager, you have one person overseeing the project and keeping all participants accountable for its successful completion.  Detailed planning for every possible scenario prevents surprises and lost productivity.  Not only will your project get completed on time, but your other work will benefit from the time management component that effective  Project Management provides.  If details are foreseen and managed accordingly, your staff will not suffer from overwork.

Evolving Solutions provides Project Management as a standalone service for an internal project you may have, or as an add-on service to a hardware implementation we sell to you.  Yes, there is overhead associated with having a Project Manager involved, but the additional value of a successful project outcome makes this money well spent.  Without a PM you risk the cost of a project being put in place incompletely, which will require a follow on project to either correct the mistakes made initially or necessitate an all new project in a few years  to get the details right ‘this time’.  Haven’t we all heard this?
