Project Management Methodology
At Advantage8 our Project Management team adhere to the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) standards.
Our project management methodology in practice comprising
three key phases:
Analyse - Fundamentally analysis is about evaluating
project goals, ensuring they are practicable & determining
the best path to achieve them.
Plan - The project plan is developed to describe the criteria for a successful project, the activities associated with the project, including milestones, deliverables, reporting requirements, and the resources required to achieve the best possible outcomes. This phase must be agreed to by all stakeholders.
Execute - This refers to monitoring the project
& achieving the goals identified during the planning
phase, ensuring a successful project outcome. This includes
maintaining control over where the project is & where
it is headed.
These phases require two essentials resources:
People – Competent people provide the key
to successful project management. This ultimately leads
to the achievement of project success. People are as important
in achieving project success as systems & strategies.
Systems – Project management systems are a critical requirement of any successful project. They enable efficient project analysis & planning, feasibility studies, risk management, time and resource management, project monitoring and reporting.
