Project Management

A software project is a finite piece of work with a start, an end and a budget, and it needs managing as one. We run projects using PRINCE2, which gives every project a defined structure without burying it in paperwork.

What that means in practice

• A controlled start: agreement on why the project is needed, what it will deliver and who is responsible for what.
• A plan with stages, and regular reviews of progress against the plan and against the business case.
• Decision points where the project can be re-planned or stopped if circumstances change.
• Issues and risks tracked and escalated at the right level, rather than discovered at the end.
• The quality required agreed at the outset and checked throughout, not just at acceptance.
• Clear communication between the project team and the rest of the organisation.

Within a project we deliver in phases, so that working software reaches users early and later phases build on what has been proven. We can also provide a project manager to run a project delivered by others, or to sit on your side of the table.
