JP Stewart Associates assists organizations with project management techniques
in a variety of ways.
Project plan review and analysis.
Project plans can often benefit from an external,
objective review. We will review your project plan, charter, scope statement,
risk plan, and the schedule for your project. Based on our findings, we will make
recommendations for improvements in project direction, focus, and use of resources.
Project execution.
Frequently, projects, which are by nature temporary, do
not require fulltime long-term in-house project managers. We will come on-site
to kick-off your project and oversee it through completion. Typical projects include
software and hardware upgrades, new technology deployments, and the introduction
of new consumer products from cameras to drugs. We will consult with management
to create a realistic project schedule. We will manage vendor interfaces, oversee
on-site teams of employees and contractors, regularly report progress to senior
management, and provide risk analyses.
Project recovery.
Projects often get off to a good start and then, due to factors
such as lack of monitoring and control, veer off track. We will meet with upper
management to assess the project. Based on the information we find, we will report
on current project status, prioritize project steps, spell out resources required
to complete the project, establish cost and schedule controls, and sometimes suggest
cancellation or postponement. We are, of course, available to manage execution
of the project.
Project risk management.
Organizations often overlook the risk management piece
of project management. They often have the de facto philosophy of dealing with
problems if and when they arise. In successful project management, the team anticipates
risks and has a plan in place to resolve them should they arise. We will meet
with your project management team to assist in identifying risks, prioritizing
them, and developing a risk response plan.
