Issue resolution is a
very important part of
project management and
hence related procedures
need to be defined as
soon as possible and if
the resolution cannot be
obtained at the project
manager level then they
are to be reported to
the higher authority for
resolution.
We believe that the
success of a project of
any scope requires a
clear understanding of
the entire job at the
very beginning and then
only qualified staff
with necessary
management, technical
and functional expertise
may be assigned to the
project. Our approach to
project management is
based on the
consideration that the
following factors play a
key role in timely and
satisfactory completion
of a project:
Mixture of Experience
and Skills in the
project Team
The first and most
important element of our
project management plan
for the successful
implementation of the
project is providing the
right mix of management,
functional and technical
skills and matching the
best available talent
within the Apex Infotech
members, to the needs of
the project.
Proper understanding
of user requirements
A key to the success of
any project is a clear
understanding of the
needs of the client.
Every job is taken very
seriously and done
wholeheartedly because
we believe that every
client is valuable and
to ensure that, Apex
Infotech involves only
the right people from
the user group along
with its experts to
design and develop the
system. After
understanding their
needs the project is
then designed and
developed with full
confidence and
satisfaction of the
clients. Thus Apex
Infotech gives same
emphasis on each and
every job from
individual client.
Comprehensive work
plan
Our approach to project
planning is based on
dividing the project
into manageable taks
with associated
deliverables. The work
plan incorporates
activities like
technical, managerial
and quality assurance
reviews in order to
ensure that there would
be no late surprises
during implementation of
the systems. There is
regular updating of the
work plan, as per actual
progress of the work and
plan revisions, if any.
The project monitoring
and reporting is done on
the basis of the plan.
Issue identification
and Resolution
An important part of
managing a project is to
identify and resolve key
issues that could affect
the timely and
successful completion of
the project. Our
approach to manage such
issues is to identify
them early, before they
start to adversely
affect the project, and
set up procedures and
instruments for their
speedy solutions.
Commitment to keep
senior management
informed on status
Our approach is designed
to measure project
progress fortnightly
through weekly status
reports in a format
agreed upon with our
client. These reports
include the tasks that
is completed, plan for
the next period and any
critical issues
encountered. Our
intention is to keep our
clients informed and not
to keep them in dark.
Commitment to keep
users involved
Experience has taught us
that no application
system can really be
effectively implemented
unless the end users of
the system develop a
strong sense of
ownership to the system.
We will attempt to keep
the end users involved
through various
activities e.g.
involvement during
system presentation,
testing and hand over so
that a sense of
ownership grow. In
addition, ample training
to the users is always
provided.
Quality Management
Approach
Apex Infotech is
committed to actively
assure quality of the
project throughout the
life span of the project
.In order to ensure that
The project meets the
needs, objectives and
expectations of the
funding and implementing
agencies, three quality
components will be
evaluated throughout the
project. They are:
|
1. |
Technical
quality |
|
2. |
Service quality |
|
3. |
Project
management |
To
ensure that each and
every activity carried
out in the project adds
value to the end
product, and every
deliverable product
meets the quality
standard, our approach
would be:
Preparation of
quality plan
A quality plan will be
prepared at the
beginning of the project
laying down quality
procedures to be
followed, review method
for various deliverables
and procedures for
document control, change
control and quality
review checkpoints. |
