Strategic Innovations, Inc.

Have you ever found yourself presented with a project to complete – maybe big, maybe small – and you found yourself wondering how you were going to get it completed? Were you trying to figure out who may be needed to help with the project? Did you wonder how you were going to get started? How you were going to track your progress? Keep the project within budget, delivered on time, and achieve what you set out to achieve?

Project management is a tool for managing projects that can help address all of those issues and many more. It can help by breaking a project down into five different processes – initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. Likewise, using a formal methodology like the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute can help you make sure you manage the many aspects of a project like integration, scope, time, cost, quality, people, communications, risk and purchasing.

If you are looking for any of the following benefits, project management may be what you are looking for:

• Improved return on investments;
• Reduction in errors and defects;
• Increased employee satisfaction and productivity;
• Improved input from users;
• Clear requirements and specifications and a system to manage changes;
• Greater customer satisfaction;
• Projects completed on-time and within budget;
• Better ability to respond to risks due to the project.

With this understanding of what project management can do for your organization's projects, we invite you to consider using Strategic Innovations if:

• You have never used a formal project management method in the past;
• The projects you have to manage are overwhelming your schedule and resources;
• You think the technical or management requirements of the project exceed the capabilities of the people you have on staff;
• No one else seems to have the time or commitment to manage the project.
