Agilis Solutions asserts that the likelihood a project will succeed is increased if the team employs a consistent approach to project management. The methodology and internal controls presented in this section help ensure:

o The same process is applied to all projects managed by Agilis Solutions.
o Project deliverables are consistent and work is predictable.
o The appropriate stakeholders are advised of project status on a regular basis.
o Changes to scope are identified and managed.
o Internal management and development standards are followed.
o Risks are identified and mitigation plans are developed.
o The appropriate staff and skills are available to complete project activities.
o Adherence to project schedule and plan is measured and deviations are managed.
o Communication with stakeholders is actively managed.
o Knowledge is transferred to the appropriate resources.

Planning

The Project Manager works closely with client personnel to plan out essential details of the project. A shared repository will be established for these living artifacts. The planning process often produces:

o Revised statement of work
o Revised project plan
o Roles and responsibilities definition
o Communication plan and project contact list
o Training plan
o Knowledge transfer plan

Execution and Control

Our Project Managers rely on training, experience, and the internal controls to manage the team throughout the software development lifecycle, effectively responsible for:

o Delivery management
o Resource management
o Change management
o Risk management
o Project tracking

Transition

Transition planning helps ensure that the client has the ability to perform long-term support, maintenance and enhancements as needed on the final deliverable product, once Agilis Solutions rolls off the project. Activities include:

o Executing the training plan
o Executing the knowledge transfer plan
o Executing the project acceptance agreement
o Ensuring the project repository is complete
o Conducting a project assessment with the client.
