Management by Projects - What is measured, is what gets done!
In today's competitive corporate environment where margins are tight, executives need to organize their activities in a most efficient and effective way. Standard instruments for corporate management are strategy, structure and culture, which are supported with a set of sub-strategies.
|
Project Structure: Projects are arranged in conjunction with the corporate objectives.
|
|
Resourcing Structure: Resources are assigned to a Resource Pool. Each pool houses the resources with common skills, qualifications and experience (e.g. design, accounting, marketing). Resource pools exist for Manpower, Machinery and Material whether owned or contracted.
|
|
Resource Utilization: Enterprise Optimus allows each resource to be described in a variety of attributes. In practical terms this means that managers can search an enterprise wide talent pool for resources that meet the “multiple criteria” needed for a specific project. (Ex: experience with specific platform, environment, education, training, seniority, location, hourly rate etc).
|
|
Centralized Planning: With all of an organizations’ resources located in a central repository, managers can assess the effect of a particular decision on other engagements. Managers can populate engagements on a trial basis and understand the implications of the upcoming opportunities. Another valuable feature is the ability to merge an internal corporate database with the database of an external client for integrated resource management with ability to control access.

Risk Management
Risk Management process deals with the risks regarding various projects. Initially, a baseline risk assessment is conducted to identify the potential risks to the project across the spectrum of development phases. Each of the identified risks is analyzed to determine the likelihood of the risk occurrence and its impact. The risks are then prioritized.
A continuous process of Risk Management activities is then executed to reassess the status of identified risks, identify new risks, monitor the effectiveness of implemented risk reduction techniques, track the risks, and flag when contingency plans should be implemented.

Change Management
Change Management is a disciplined approach to planning, coordinating, and reporting changes that have the potential to negatively impact the project plan and/or the project deliverables.
