Product Management

Discover Timely Results and Superior Quality with Business Intelligence Project management services.

Project management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources in such a way that the project is completed within defined scope, quality, time and const constraints. A project is a temporary and one time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, which brings about beneficial change or added value.

Benifits

This property of being a temporary and one time undertaking contrasts with processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work to create the same product or service over and over again. The management of these two systems is often very different and requires varying technical skills and philosophy, hence requiring the development of project management.

Outsourcing Makes Sense!

In light of the difficulty of initiating a project within an organization with its processes in place, outsourcing your projects will save you time and money, and your projects will be completed by the professional project managers on staff at Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence project managers know all about the art of project management and carefully define your project activities and assign the proper resources to meet your project’s predefined objectives such as money, people, materials, energy, space, provisions, and communication. Business Intelligence project management process is as follows:

Define the Scope. The first, and most important, step in any project is defining the scope of the project. What is the project objective? Equally important is defining what is not included in the scope of the project. Business Intelligence works with you to define and clarify the scope. We then review it with you for confirmation.

Determine Available Resources. What people, equipment, and money are available to achieve the project objectives? As a project manager, Business Intelligence usually will not have direct control of these resources, but will have to manage them through matrix management.

Check the Timeline. When does the project have to be completed? As we develop your project plan we may have some flexibility in how we use time during the project, but deadlines usually are fixed. If you decide to use overtime hours to meet the schedule, you must weigh that against the limitations of your budget.

Assemble the Project Team. Business Intelligence assembles the people on your team to start a dialog. They are the technical experts. That's why our functional supervisor assigned them to the project.

List the Big Steps. What are the major pieces of the project? We start by asking our team who begins by listing the steps in chronological order, however the order is flexible in case of changes that may occur.

List the Smaller Steps. List the smaller steps in each of the larger steps. The levels of the project depend on the size and complexity of your project.

Develop a Preliminary Plan. We assemble all your steps into a plan and again, we review the plan with you.

Create the Baseline Plan. Once the team and any other stakeholders give their feedback on the preliminary plan, we adjust timelines and work schedules to fit the project into the available time, and make any necessary adjustments to the preliminary plan to produce a baseline plan.

Request Project Adjustments. There is almost never enough time, money or talent assigned to a project. Our job is to do more with the limited resources than people expect.

However, if the limits placed on a project are simply unrealistic, our project manager will state his position and case and present it to you, and request that the limits be changed. Business Intelligence project managers are trained to ask for the changes at the beginning of the project instead of waiting until the project may be in trouble, which is crucial to success.

Work Our Plan. Making the plan is important, but the plan can be changed, and we will change it as needed, but always keep the scope and resources in mind. Flexibility is important.

Monitor Team's Progress. We closely monitor our project resources and deal with any issues before they become a problem.

Document Everything. We document every move.....every time we change from the baseline plan, we write down what the change was and why it was necessary. Every time a new requirement is added to the project we write down where the requirement came from and how the timeline or budget was adjusted because of it.

We Keep Everyone Informed. We keep all the project stakeholders informed of progress throughout the project, including each milestone completion, and any problems. Our team is also kept informed. We make sure everyone on the team is aware of what everyone else is doing. Communication is crucial to success.
