Project Management
At The Bernard Johnson Group we view PM as the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project objectives, on time and on budget.
The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring the project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time and budget. The second challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives: client deliverables. Our basic PM process involves:
In order to successfully perform client project work, we perform a high level of quality assurance and using quality control methodology to attain the correct balance between the project triad of scope, cost and schedule. This requires a comprehensive project management approach and detailed work plans. Key members of our project management team have experience and expertise on both large and small, complex multidisciplinary projects. We develop a project management plan to ensure that all project goals, milestones and deliverables are successfully achieved within the scheduled time frame. Our Project Management Plan typically includes:
- Analysis and design of objectives and events
- Project scheduling
- Action item “punch list”
- Project work plan
- Data reporting and management plan
