The Lifecycle of Project Management as a Service Your dedicated project manager will begin by structuring the project. Think of this as the roadmap that will get you from Point A to Point Z. Project managers are adept in knowing what types of specialists, skills, and technologies are required for meeting your objective. Outline Overall Goal/Scope Next, the goal and scope of the project will be outlined so that all stakeholders can gain a clear vision for the project. Developing realistic expectations during this time can lead to a “win” for all parties. Develop the Timeline Your project manager will develop a timeline that clearly outlines exactly what will happen by when. A successful timeline is firm in its expectations, yet provides some flexibility for when unforeseen circumstances require a change of course. Identify the Milestones Clear milestones or benchmarks signal progress to the team. Strategic project managers will identify these milestones, acknowledge the achievements, and drive the team forward to the next marker! Define Requirements & Create a Project Plan Every project has firm requirements. Your project manager will identify these and outline a plan for knocking over each domino. Marshal Resources Because project managers are knowledgeable in every aspect of the project, they’re able to marshal resources effectively, distributing time, money, and talent to the appropriate channels. Set SMART Goals At InStream, we work SMART, by setting goals that are: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timely Manage & Recognize Risk Risk is inherent in any project. However, risk isn’t something to be feared; it’s something to be managed. Incisive project managers identify the risk and plan for contingencies. Create & Assign Tasks throughout the Duration of the Project Naturally, the role of a project manager involves no shortage of hands-on management. These professionals are skilled in defining clear tasks, assigning them to the appropriate employees or contractors, and following up on progress with regular check-ins. Provide Consistent Status Updates Project managers must provide consistent status updates to the management, team, and all stakeholders. At InStream, we believe in clear and open communication. No surprises! Monitor Budget & Timeline Successful projects are completed within the budget and on time. Of course, this requires consistent management and oversight! Being on budget and on time doesn’t happen effortlessly; that’s why you have a project manager to keep a close watch over things! Drive Momentum Lastly, a project manager must be a leader capable of driving work forward, ensuring that progress is made and timelines are observed. Finish! Ultimately, the project is completed, and the final “I’s” are dotted and “T’s” crossed. Post-completion deliverables, such as reports and other forms of documentation, may also be delivered at this time. Contact us to discuss a current project!
