Since the execution of a project is based on the quality and accuracy of information
contained within the project plan, project planning is paramount to a successful project.
A good project plan will not guarantee success, but TMI recognizes that disciplined
project planning fosters a proactive management style that can be instituted early on in
the project lifecycle, thus avoiding a reactive or crisis management environment. From
determining the feasibility of completing your project within acceptable cost and time
parameters to establishing the common framework on which all the other project elements
depend, TMI provides expert project planning consultation and support.
Due to time and resource constraints, most projects require formal, detailed planning.
Accordingly, TMI emphasizes project planning and an exacting thoroughness when developing
the planning stage’s most important tool—the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
The WBS determines the organization of your project schedule and how costs are
estimated and summarized among other things. TMI can develop a systematic, yet flexible
WBS for your project that will allow your organization to reduce or eliminate project
uncertainties. In addition, TMI will ensure that your WBS provides a framework for
monitoring & controlling the project and helps better communicate the project
objectives.
In addition to development of the work and cost accounting system (i.e., work breakdown
structure), TMI’s planning-related products and services include project cost/benefit
analyses, development of the project budget (based on the WBS), identification of the
project risks and development of alternative or contingency plans, and assistance in
defining the project organization.
TMI works directly with your organization to define your project, at the same time
transferring valuable knowledge to your project staff. If your project has already
started, TMI can review the existing project definition (or lack thereof) and make expert
recommendations on improving your current plan. If you prefer to leave the details up to
someone else, we can define your entire project for you. |
