Project Management The cornerstone to success for any project is how well it is managed. This includes thorough planning, execution and control of the plan, communication, and complete closure of the project. Globaldata Management established a Project Management Office (PMO) to lead our commitment to provide high quality Project Management services to our customers. To fulfill this goal our PMO provides: Mature Project Management and Business Solution Life Cycle methodologies, templates, tools, and standards (based upon the Project Management Institute guidelines). Education and mentoring for employees pursuing project management as a professional development path. Project Management quality assurance audits on projects outsourced by clients to Globaldata Managements. Services available to Clients Project Launch Focused Project Planning Project Risk Assessment Project Recovery Project Management Training MS Project Implementation and Training Project Office Implementation Project Office Support Program Project Monitoring and Oversight Project Management Quality Assurance Audit Project Manager Mentoring and Coaching Project Launch Sometimes the most difficult part of a project is getting it started. Developing a tactical plan without having first defined the business objectives to be supported is clearly a failure mode. Lack of a common understanding of the project leads to straying from the strategic intent and project results that do not meet the business needs. By engaging the project team and other stakeholders in an interactive Planning Workshop we establish and refine the common understanding that is key to the conceptual development and eventual detailed planning necessary for a successful project. The results of the facilitated Planning Workshop are: A core project group that has achieved a critical step towards becoming a performing team. Common understanding of the project business objectives, benefits, constraints, deliverables, risks, and stakeholders. A Project Overview Statement that serves as the foundation and baseline for product development and decision-making. Focused Project Planning Planning does not end with the Project Overview Statement. The initial tactical plan is key to maintaining the momentum achieved during the Project Launch. A senior Project Management Professional (PMP®) will facilitate the Project team through development of the detail Project Plan: Scope Schedule Cost Communication Plan Risk Quality Plan Tracking and Performance Metrics Project Risk Assessment  Most organizations fail to take risk into account when planning their projects, often because of lack of expertise. We can aid our customers in: Identification of Risk Events. Analysis of Impact and Probability of Occurrence. Development of Risk Responses plans. Implementation and Tracking of the Risk Response plans. Project Recovery For clients who find themselves with a failing project, Globaldata can provide an assessment of the project, identification of the “problem” areas, associated risks, and a plan for recovery. Project Management Training As competition for project management professionals increases, more companies are initiating efforts to develop project management professionals from within. Globaldata Management offers formal project management related education and training. The courses range from leadership and team building to the fundamentals of project management (based upon A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge). Project Office Implementation A project management infrastructure consists of methodologies, processes and tools. The infrastructure can be developed for a department or an enterprise. Today, this is often referred to as a “Project Office”. A key success factor for establishing the infrastructure is the determination of which type of “Project Office” is the correct one for your business. This requires a careful assessment of the organization itself, the current infrastructure, and the desired end state. Globaldata Management can guide you through both the organization assessments and development of the desired end state including the required organizational education and tool implementation. Project Office Support Program For those organizations that are unable, or do not wish, to implement an internal Project Office Globaldata can supply a completely outsourced Project Office. This service provides all of the benefits of a Project Office using Globaldata’s proven methodology, procedures and tools tailored to the unique needs of the client and executed by Globaldata staff through coordination with the client’s project focal points. This comprehensive service addresses all aspects of Project Management including Initiation, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Closing of the client’s projects.
