PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY

Project Initiation

Project Initiation is the first phase in the Project Life Cycle and essentially involves starting up and activating the project. We initiate a project by defining its purpose and scope, the justification for initiating it and the solution to be implemented.

Project Planning

After defining the project and appointing the project team, we will enter the detailed project planning phase.

This involves creating a suite of planning documents to help guide the client, contractor & affiliated PSCS/ PSDP/ H&S team throughout the project delivery to final completion.

Project Execution:

With a clear definition of the project and a suite of detailed project plans, we enter the Execution phase of the project. This is the phase in which the deliverables are physically built and presented to the customer for acceptance.

While each deliverable is being constructed, a suite of management processes is undertaken to monitor and control the deliverables being output by the project.

These processes include managing time, cost, quality, change, risks, issues, suppliers, customers, and communication.

Once all the deliverables have been produced and the customer has accepted the final solution, the project is ready for closure and completion from a billing and goods receivable point of view.

Project Closure

Project Closure involves releasing the final deliverables to the customer, handing over project documentation to the business, terminating supplier contracts, releasing project resources, and communicating project closure to all stakeholders.

The last remaining step is to undertake a Post Implementation Review to identify the level of project success and note any lessons learned for future projects.
