What is a project?

For purposes of what we do, a project is a temporary, organized effort to create an improvement to processes in an organization.

 

What is Project Management?

Project management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources in such a way that these resources deliver all the work required to complete a project within defined scope, time, and cost constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service that brings about beneficial change or added value. For BPI, project management means to implement the improvement to your satisfaction.

Project Management activities

Project Management is composed of several different types of activities such as:

1. Planning the work or objectives
As a result of the process mapping we document the improvements that you want done.
2. Analysis & Design of objectives
You need to know what the improvement will look like. That is the outcome of this step.
3. Assessing and controlling risk
You do not want any surprises. Neither do we. This step will identify any potential risks and put steps in place to prevent them.
4. Estimating and allocating resources
You will want to know how the project will impact your organization. We identify how long the project will take and what resources are required before it starts.
5. Organizing the work and assigning tasks
This is where we develop the project plan. It is your roadmap for the project so you will know what is going to happen.
6. Directing activities
Timelines are set for each task and you will know when to expect deliverables. As the project manager, we stay on top of these activities to ensure no slippage.
7. Tracking and Reporting progress
We put reporting in place to ensure you are up to date on the progress of the project. It is a great way to stay close to the project and not take you away from your priorities.
8. Issues Management and Resolution
Should any issues arise during the project, it may require engaging others to resolve. These may impact the project but it is better to resolve them than ignore them.
9. Project Closure meeting
A project has a beginning and an end. In this step the project as a whole as well as the objectives achieved are reviewed to ensure that you are satisfied.
BPI involves you in all these steps to ensure you are up to date so nothing is overlooked. We inspect a project along the way to ensure you get what you expect.
