Project Planning & Initiation
We start projects with a strong foundation, creating a strategic roadmap that aligns with the business objectives and project goals. Our planning approach uses iterative techniques to refine project details over time, allowing for adaptive strategies that accommodate evolving requirements.
Stakeholder Alignment and Workshops: Facilitate workshops to establish a shared vision, identify objectives, and agree on deliverables. This helps align all stakeholders and set the stage for successful execution.
Scope Definition and Breakdown: Develop a detailed project scope and a hierarchical structure of tasks using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Each deliverable is broken down into manageable components for better control.
Progressive Planning and Detailing: Utilize Rolling Wave Planning to provide detailed planning for near-term tasks and high-level planning for future activities, refining the plan as more information becomes available.
Cost and Resource Planning: Apply estimating techniques like Analogous Estimating and Parametric Estimating for cost forecasting, ensuring that the resource allocation aligns with the project's budget and timeline.
Tools and Techniques:
Critical Path Analysis for identifying key tasks and dependencies.
Mind Mapping to capture and organize ideas and requirements.
Key Benefits: Establishes a comprehensive and adaptive project plan, minimizing uncertainty and setting clear expectations for stakeholders..
