Project Management
Project management services specialize in planning, coordinating, and executing projects according to specific requirements and constraints. They perform some or all project activities, from conceptualization to completion. They emphasize creating and maintaining project milestones and the project schedule. The end goal is to complete the project on time and within budget.

Here’s how we build that scope statement. Six major scope management processes help manage and define a project’s parameters. These are:
- Planning scope management: A scope management plan is created based on input from the project plan, the project charter, and consultation with stakeholders.
- Collecting requirements: A requirements management plan is created based on the scope management plan plus stakeholder input. Interviews, focus group discussions, surveys, and more will be used to understand requirements. This will all be documented.
- Defining scope: A project scope statement is produced based on all the requirements documentation plus the project charter and the scope management plan. This definition will be the basis for all project activity.
- Creating the Work Breakdown Structure: A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is built after analyzing the project scope statement and the requirements documentation. The WBS breaks the entire project into individual tasks and clearly defines deliverables.
- Validating scope: Here, deliverables are inspected and reviewed. They are either accepted as complete or further revisions are requested.
- Controlling scope: As the project is executed, scope must be controlled. Performance reports are compared against project requirements to identify gaps, which may result in changes to the project plan.
Communication is an important aspect of project management and should not be overlooked throughout the project. All project stakeholders should receive regular updates via email, meetings, conference calls, or a project dashboard. Communication during all phases of the project can help avoid costly rework later.
