Project Management
Project Management is the discipline of planning, organising, monitoring and controlling all aspects
of a project in a continuous process in order to achieve the stated objectives.
Engaging a dedicated and skilled project manager can maximise the likelihood of a project meeting
its objectives and is a cost effective investment for your business.
As a capable negotiator, your project manager should assist you to:
- Establish a clear and common understanding between all stakeholders of what needs to be done
- Obtain a fair and reasonable price for the specified quality of the work to be carried out
- Reduce the level of risk and uncertainty in the overall project plan
- Increase the accuracy of, and confidence in, achieving the agreed quality, price, schedule or outcome
- Determine any special needs, constraints or assumptions of how the work is to be carried out
- Establish a good working relationship between stakeholders based on mutual respect and a clear understanding of what each person or team is responsible for.
Business Diligence uses a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) methodology to itemise each project objective into activities and tasks to determine how long each objective will take. A comprehensive schedule of events is then created to effectively track and monitor the project.
Budget preparation and control is a strength of Business Diligence, our experience in estimating costs ensures that:
- All costs are analysed. The full scope of each element of the project is taken into consideration when creating the estimates.
- All options and alternatives are explored when conducting the estimates. For example, the use of contractors is compared to the cost of providing resources from an internal area within the company
- The degree of accuracy and risk relating to any cost estimate is known and noted for future reference and planning.
